The Credit Card / Net Banking orders for our website are processed by Our Gateway provider "CCAvenue"

CCAvenue uses the most powerful Verisign secure socket layer (SSL) for encrypting customer data during transmission. To put this into non-technical terms, it would take 340,000,000,000 years for today's fastest computers to crack Verisign SSL.
