News 18RBI MPC Decisions: The Reserve Bank of India on Wednesday, June 8, increased the limit on the mandates on recurring payments via cards, both credit and debit from Rs 5,000 to Rs 15,000 per transaction. “To further facilitate recurring payments like subscriptions, insurance premiums, education fees of larger value under the framework, the limit is being enhanced from Rs 5,000 to Rs 15,000 per transaction,” said the RBI governor. The framework on processing of e-mandate based recurring payments, inter-alia, provides for an Additional Factor of Authentication during registration, sending a pre-debit notification, subsequent recurring transactions to be executed without AFA, and an easier avenue to withdraw such mandates, the RBI later said in a statement. “To further augment customer convenience and leverage the benefits available under the framework, it is proposed to enhance the limit from Rs 5,000 to Rs 15,000 per recurring payment.
