Plan to Use Debit Cards to Buy Fuel Suspended

So long as gasoline is not rationed, the plan to use bank debit cards as fuel cards is pointless and will not be implemented for now, the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company announced in a new directive.
According to NIOPDC, the plan to reactivate the fuel cards is basically to curb fuel smuggling and has nothing to do with rationing, so replacing fuel cards with debit cards is out of question, ISNA reported late Wednesday.
