DigitalOcean bills in USD, so an Indian card adds about a 3.5% forex markup over the mid-market rate, with GST on that markup. That is roughly 4.1% on top before the fee even reaches your statement.
Business software attracts 18% GST in India. It is on the invoice for INR vendors and applies to foreign software too. GST-registered businesses can usually reclaim it as input credit.
