Another portal is using our meta description, is it going to affect rankings of my pages

You should be fine, Bankim.

You've implemented a rel=canonical solution on your website, which will tell Google that you are the originator of this content.  Anyone who scrapes your site as a result will be seen as Google as just that, a scraper, and won't be providing original content.  Plus, the meta description is not the biggest ranking factor out there - does have a slight influence, but not a big amount.

I can't say you'd have anything to worry about over a website that scrapes your meta descriptions and even leaves in your brand name.  I mean, seriously? That's just lazy from the other website!

I would say though that your meta descriptions do look very long, over 270 characters in some cases.  The general consensus is that 155 characters (with spaces) is the maximum length you should use, as anything more than that will not show up underneath your search results. Also, 270 characters you might be seen as keyword stuffing, so I'd recommend changing those descriptions into something more Google friendly.

Hope this helps!
