With this, the company has made significant progress in the card-on-file tokenization initiative by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

The company remains on track to meet RBI’s deadline to purge saved card data ahead of the RBI deadline.

RBI’s Card-on-File tokenization mandate requires all online platforms to comply with the new initiative and make digital payments secure for citizens.

As per the RBI’s guidelines, all online merchants/ecommerce stores have to comply with the card-on-file tokenization feature by September 30.
