Well, this is because of RBI\u2019s new e-mandate guidelines. Note that this is only applicable to new Tickertape subscriptions and not the existing ones. Subscriptions that were started before 1st Apr will continue till 30th Sep 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On 21<sup>st<\/sup> Aug 2019, the RBI had issued a <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.tickertape.in\/documents-blog\/47EMANDATE39D1306C26AE4B44B2EA0050F23E7E3D.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">circular<\/a> regarding the registration of new card mandates to make transactions secure and safer. Banks were asked to subject all new e-mandate registrations to Additional Factor of Authentication (AFA) effective 1<sup>st<\/sup> Apr 2021. We\u2019ll read more about this a bit later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since banks are yet to comply with the new e-mandate guidelines, the RBI issued a <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.tickertape.in\/documents-blog\/NOT11820DB6EC9DF8A4611926B0A897918D64F.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">new circular<\/a> on 31<sup>st <\/sup>Mar 2021, which has extended the timeline till 30<sup>th<\/sup> Sep 2021. Until then, new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/tickertape-pro-features-for-advanced-investment-analysis\/\">Tickertape Pro<\/a> subscriptions on our 1 mth plan cannot be started on credit\/debit cards. Tickertape Pro also comes in 3, 6 or 12 mth plans where we offer multiple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/pricing?ref=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">payment options<\/a> including credit\/debit card, UPI, and net banking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us look at RBI\u2019s new e-mandate guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>AFA is mandatory. It is a process where you, as a cardholder, will receive a request for your card PIN or an OTP before making your first transaction of the recurring payment series and also when modifying or revoking the mandate. The maximum limit for registering mandates is Rs 5,000<\/li><li>When registering a mandate, banks are directed to provide you with the option to choose either SMS or email as the mode of communication. It is on one of these modes that your bank will send you the pre-debit notification at least 24 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/hra-tax-exemption\/\">hrs<\/a> before debiting your account with the mandate sum<\/li><li>While the pre-debit notification would contain all the information about the upcoming debit, it will also give you an option to opt out of the debit or even the mandate<\/li><li>Banks will also provide you with an online facility to withdraw from an e-mandate at any point in time. For all such mandates, the banks are directed to ensure that the merchants involved should delete all customer payment information<\/li><li>You will be required to provide a validity period for your e-mandates to make it definite. You can\u2019t have a mandate for an indefinite period<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_66_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/rbi-new-mandate\/#FAQs\" title=\"FAQs\">FAQs<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/rbi-new-mandate\/#Will-my-existing-card-e-mandates-be-impacted\" title=\"Will my existing card e-mandates be impacted?\">Will my existing card e-mandates be impacted?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/rbi-new-mandate\/#Are-Tickertape-subscription-transactions-impacted-alone\" title=\"Are Tickertape subscription transactions impacted alone?\">Are Tickertape subscription transactions impacted alone?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span><strong>FAQs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will-my-existing-card-e-mandates-be-impacted\"><\/span><strong>Will my existing card e-mandates be impacted?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No, your existing card mandates will not be impacted.
