Leading private banks started sending messages to their customers that they will have to pay on their own for services they want to avail, instead of the banks deducting the fee on their behalf

Faced with the prospects of attracting huge fines by the regulator, banks have started cancelling the service of e-mandates for auto-debit of funds from cards.

Leading private banks have started sending messages to their customers that they will have to transact on their own for services they want to avail, instead of banks deducting the fee automatically on their behalf.

For example, Axis Bank has sent a communication to its customers that said in accordance with regulatory requirements, “processing of e-mandates for recurring transactions,” registered on credit or debit card, “without Additional Factor of Authentication (AFA), will be discontinued w.e.f. April 1, 2021.” It advised customers to pay at the merchant website or application themselves.
