If your business is impacted by the latest auto-debit guidelines and you are looking to get more clarity on it, then you have come to the right place!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the Latest Auto-Debit Guidelines?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With effect from October 1, 2021, businesses need to comply with new norms to continue auto-debiting the subscription amount on credit & debit cards. As per the latest guidelines, Additional Factor Authentication (AFA) or an OTP approval from customers is necessary to resume the auto-debit functionality. All businesses will have to intimate customers up to 24 hrs before any auto-debit transaction up to \u20b9 5,000. Also, businesses need to provide customers with an \u2018Opt-out\u2019 link with the auto-debit notification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it is a disruption in the short term, the new norms will ensure a convenient, secure and, safer recurring payments ecosystem for all. They give the customer more control over transactions and allow them to manage their subscriptions easily from the bank portal itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How will the New Guidelines Impact Your Business?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All subscription-based businesses, from the biggest OTTs to upcoming subscription box companies, are under the purview of these new regulations. However, entities conducting transactions such as Mutual Funds (SIP), EMIs, or loans based on UPI <\/a>and Netbanking remain unaffected by the new norms.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting on the future of India\u2019s subscription economy, Nimit Bhatia, Associate Director \u2013 Products<\/strong> at PayU <\/em>said “In the longer term, it’ll result in more customers being comfortable using card payments. These regulations will give end customers the comfort that translates into more business growth over time. Short term pain but overall subscriptions or cards business will grow in the upcoming quarters.”<\/em>
