1. What are the new RBI guidelines?
   As per the new RBI guidelines effective from October 1, 2022, merchants can no longer save subscriber credit or debit card details. Instead, subscribers must enter their complete card details for every payment done via card.
2. How can I avoid entering my card details every time I pay?
   Subscribers can provide their consent, allowing Tata Play to tokenize (encrypt) and save their card as per new RBI guidelines. This means that Tata Play asks your card network to encrypt your card details with additional authentication. Tata Play receives the encrypted details which will be saved and used for future transactions instead of your actual card details.
3. What is tokenization?
   Tokenisation refers to replacement of actual card details with an alternate code called the “token”, which shall be unique for a combination of card, token requestor (i.e. the entity which accepts request from the subscriber for tokenisation of a card and passes it on to the card network to issue a corresponding token) and merchant. It is safer and more secure than just saving your card as your card number is replaced with tokens for all transactions and card number is not shared for subsequent transactions.
4. Who will tokenize my cards?
   As per RBI guidelines, cards can be tokenized only by authorized entities referred to as Token Service Providers. These entities can be a bank or a card network e.g. Visa, Mastercard, Rupay, etc.
5. How do I provide my consent to save the card?
   Until September 30, 2022 you can give your consent to tokenize all your saved cards. Navigate to payments page, select a card, provide consent and OTP to tokenize your card.
6. Do I need to provide consent separately for each card?
   Yes, as per the RBI guidelines, you need to provide consent to save each card separately.
7. Which of my cards can be saved as per new RBI guidelines?
   We currently support only India issued personal credit and debit cards of VISA, Mastercard and Rupay card networks. Support for other card networks will be updated as and when we are ready.
8. What will happen to my previously added cards?
   Until September 30, 2022 you can give your consent to tokenize all your saved cards. Navigate to payments page, select a card, provide consent and OTP to tokenize your card. Cards for which we do not have your consent by September 30, 2022 will be removed and you will need to enter the full card details to complete every payment.
9. My card is also stored in other accounts of my friend or family member. Do they also need to tokenize the card again as per RBI guidelines?
   Yes, the card needs to be saved across every account by each subscriber individually.
10. Will I need to give my consent for offline transactions?
    No, the new RBI guidelines are only applicable for online/e-commerce transactions.
11. Do I need to pay any charges for saving my card?
    No, there is no charge for saving your card.
12. Is it mandatory to save my card(s)?
    Tokenizing a card is not mandatory, however RBI has prohibited saving card details without tokenization. Hence, if you do not tokenize your card, we will delete all saved your cards after September 30, 2022 and you will need to enter the complete card details which includes Card number, expiry date and CVV every time while making a payment. We recommend that you do so as it will ensure your payment experience remains as seamless as before. Cards for which we haven’t received consent by September 30, 2022 will be deleted as per RBI guidelines.
