Final Notes​

  1. RuPay cards are on par with Visa/Mastercard in terms of offers and features.
  2. Newly launched RuPay cards might not immediately qualify for e-commerce offers—contact the bank for updates (Everything starts working perfectly after a few months).
  3. RuPay's partnerships ensure seamless international acceptance.

Fair point

BTW I didn't know that Visa/MC were once non profits
Yes, The card networks (VISA/MasterCard) started out as non-profit associations helping their member banks to generate profits.

Actually, not only banks, NPCI is also not interested in launching super premium or ultra premium cards.

RuPay just testing the cards with banks. I saw some NPCI employees job description in linkedin, he/she mentioned that his/her works to cap RuPay transaction volume market share.

Also another NPCI employee mentioned -

"RuPay's newest eCommerce product Bharat eCommerce Payment Gateway (BEPG). Implemented new payment methods for RuPay which include SI, Network Based EMI, H2H etc.

Handled major PSUs, aggregators and vendors for various RuPay ecom acceptance on all acquiring fronts & offering in terms new features, products, market analysis.

Part of the one of the most critical projects for the organisation for improvement of consumer experience and to improve trust factor for RuPay Card."

So, RuPay card currently follow the same path, jaha kabhi visa/mastercard hua karta tha before 2008. Another thing, NPCI ko banaya he gaya tha poor to middle class tak k logo ko serve karne k liye aur RuPay card usme 100% success kiya ha, chote se chote village ho ya town ya forest, island ya phir small banks. Har koi RuPay card and NPCI pe he depend karta ha. Aur bhulna maat India ka 70% population villages me raheta ha, isiliye toh RuPay debit card ka market share 60% hai. 😀😀

IT is such when sbi is not issuing rupay cards that easily....

Imagine if they allow issuance of platinum card online or give it by default...... Floodgates will open for visa/ mastercard
