MYNTRA* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

When Myntra processes transactions through India's payment gateways and card networks, the billing system appends an asterisk followed by a truncated identifier to distinguish the merchant across different transaction types, resulting in the "MYNTRA*" descriptor you see on your statement. This format is commonly used by large Indian e-commerce platforms to comply with payment processor requirements that separate the merchant name from additional transaction metadata, even when that metadata field happens to be blank or truncated. If you recently purchased clothing, footwear, or accessories from Myntra's platform, a charge of around ₹600 appearing as "MYNTRA*" is almost certainly a legitimate one-time payment for that order.

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