What is MCC Code?
In India, Merchant Category Codes (MCC) are four-digit identifiers assigned by credit card networks such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover to classify businesses based on the type of goods or services they offer. This standardized system helps banks and payment processors efficiently handle transactions across diverse sectors of the Indian economy.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and other regulatory bodies leverage MCCs to monitor digital payments, ensuring secure and transparent operations. Additionally, MCC codes play a role in calculating Goods and Services Tax (GST) for merchants, as they help the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) determine tax compliance for various industries.
