Prevent auto-debit failures by registering once again, say experts

If bank and service provider are not compliant, pay manually, or give standing instruction linked to bank a/c

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI)-mandated changes to auto-debit rules have come into effect from today (October 1). There is a possibility that many of your recurring auto-debit payments may not go through.

Adhil Shetty, chief executive officer (CEO), BankBazaar, says, “The RBI has mandated the digital payments ecosystem to build and integrate into a common bill payment system, with a view to make cards-not-present transactions safer. The new rules apply to recurring payments via debit and credit cards, Unified Payments Interface (UPI), and prepaid cards.”
