This is certainly an emerging problem which will only get worse. If the transaction is less than Rs5k and if your credit/Debit card has a built in chip than you can ask to do the transaction via wifi. This will not require kyou to put in your pin. However, if the amount is more than Rs5k then you have a genuine problem. I do not think we should settle for a flimsy work around.
I have filed a case in this regard with the Delhi High Court in November 2019. The case has had a couple of hearings so far.

Subject: [AI] inAccessible Point of Sale swipe machine (touch screen) Dear Access Indians, Of late I have been increasingly experiencing merchants using touch screen which makes virtually impossible to enter credit card pin. Any idea what is the solution for independently entering the pin without seeking sighted assistance. Personally I feel my security is compormise if I take sighted assistance to enter pin for credit card/ debit card. Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.
