ALT BALAJI* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

When ALTBalaji processes subscription payments in India, the charge appears as "ALT BALAJI*" on your bank statement because payment gateways and card networks like Visa and Mastercard enforce strict character limits and formatting rules that require spaces between words and convert the stylized brand name into a standardized uppercase format. The asterisk following "ALT BALAJI*" is a common convention used by payment processors to separate the merchant name from an additional identifier, such as a transaction reference or service type. If you are a subscriber to ALTBalaji's monthly ₹300 streaming plan, this descriptor is the expected way the charge will appear on your Indian bank or credit card statement.

No, this is a legitimate charge from ALTBalaji. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
