RBI issues new debit and credit card rules to improve convenience and security

RBI asks banks to allow only domestic card transactions at ATMs and PoS terminals in India at the time of issuance/reissuance of card
For international transactions, online transactions and contactless transactions, customers will have to separately set up services on their card
 

 
 

As over the years, the volume and value of transactions made through cards have increased manifold, the Reserve Bank of India on Wednesday issued new rules for credit and debit cards to improve user convenience and increase the security of card transactions.
 
RBI asks banks to allow only domestic card transactions at ATMs and PoS terminals in India at the time of issuance/reissuance of card.
 
For international transactions, online transactions, card-not-present transactions and contactless transactions, customers will have to separately set up services on their card.
 
These rules will be applicable for new cards from 16 March, 2020. Those with old cards can decide whether to disable any of these features.
 
For existing cards, issuers may take a decision, based on their risk perception, whether to disable the card not present (domestic and international) transactions, international transactions and contactless transaction rights. Existing cards which have never been used for online/ international/ contactless transactions shall be mandatorily disabled for this purpose.
 
Users will have 24x7 access to switch ON/OFF or change all transaction limits via all available channels — mobile application / internet banking / ATMs / Interactive Voice Response (IVR).
 
Issuers shall provide to all cardholders facility to switch on/ off and set/ modify transaction limits (within the overall card limit, if any, set by the issuer) for all types of transactions – domestic and international, at PoS/ ATMs / online transactions / contactless transactions, etc.,
 
The provisions, however, are not mandatory for prepaid gift cards and those used at mass transit systems.
 
The latest instructions assume significance amid rising instances of cyber frauds.
