Google Play hits 25 billion downloads (25 apps/movies/mags at 25 cents) !

^^Yes Google charge 1$ for first time linking any Credit/Debit card with your google wallet account.
No need to panic, just go ahead with your app transaction.

BTW bought Heat 7 & Office Pro !!
 
$1 for one time registration is fine. But usually when you use a indian credit card to buy from a international merchant/vendor in different currency, there will be an extra fee. Does this also apply with play store purchases.

Yes, thats applicable. Here are approx calculation for 25 cents apps:

25 cents = Rs13.5 (assumed rate of 54 Rs=1$)
Bank/CC charges: Rs 0.3375
Total cost : 13.8375

Hope it helps :)

I guess its some kinda registration fee. Just now I registered my ICICI Virtual CC with G-Play and they deducted 1$ before even I bought something.

Quote from Google Checkout:

[h=3]Authorizations[/h]You may also notice a $1.00 transaction from Google, which is actually a pending authorization request between our billing system and the bank that issued your credit or debit card, so you won't end up paying the extra $1.00.
These transactions might remain in your account between 1-14 business days, depending on your card-issuing bank. These charges may be filed under the name GOOGLE GOOGLE.COM/CH.

I purchased Asphalt 7 yesterday by registering my HDFC CC on Google wallet, but i got charged for 53bucks (1$) initially by Google.com and 13bucks (0.25$) for the Game from Gameloft...

Thought it may be some registration charge, but now i doubt if this(1$ deduction) happens for every subsequent purchase or is it a onetime charge(something like a registration charge)...

Anyone with HDFC CC please share your views...
