Explainer: RBI’s New Rules For Online Payments From Jan 1; What It Means For You

New Delhi: Starting January 1, e-commerce companies cannot store your Debit/Credit card details, under new Reserve Bank of India (RBI) rules. To make online payments, you have to choose one of the following two ways:

One: Tokenisation.
