RBI has relaxed norms for making online transactions through Cards. So you are not required to authenticate your transaction on uber/ paytm or other online sites upto Rs.2000 once you have given prior permission. Although Banks are required to take consent of customers and leave it to customer, whether they want to opt in or not.
Additional Factor of Authentication (AFA) requirement for transactions upto ₹ 2000/- for online Card Not Present (CNP) transactions for the ‘payment authentication solutions’ provided by authorised card networks with the participation of respective card issuing and acquiring banks is being relaxed, subject to:
Only authorised card networks shall provide such payment authentication solutions with participation of card issuing and acquiring banks,
The relaxation for AFA under such solutions shall be applicable for card not present transactions for a maximum value of ₹ 2,000/- per transaction across all merchant categories. Banks and card networks are free to facilitate their customers to set lower per transaction limits,
Beyond the transaction limit of ₹ 2000/-, the card not present transaction has to necessarily be processed as per the extant instructions with mandatory AFA; even for transaction values below this limit, the customer may choose to make payment using other forms of AFA as hitherto,
No change in the existing chargeback process.
Further, in the interest of customer awareness and protection, the banks and authorised card networks are required to:
The authorised card network operators, may also facilitate participation of cardholders from other authorised card networks, through appropriate network level arrangements / agreements.
This directive is issued under Section 10(2) read with Section 18 of Payment and Settlement Systems Act 2007 (Act 51 of 2007).
