Why Has This Change Come?

Before we jump into the fixes, let’s quickly understand what’s happening. Basically, to ensure the safety of transactions, RBI has stopped auto-debits for bill payments and additional authentication will be required to complete the transaction. This would prevent fraudulent transactions and ensure customer convenience.

What Has Been Affected?

This change has affected auto-debits across various businesses, including Apple and Google. Apple is no longer auto-debiting from your card for its monthly subscriptions and you are now required to add Apple funds to continue your transactions seamlessly.

Ways to Fix Deleted Credit Card Issue After RBI’s New Rule

Re-enter Your Payment Method

If you just have a single credit or debit card added to your Google Account, you can update and resave your card by adding it again and making a single manual payment. This will automatically update your older card and treat it as a new one. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Log in to your Google Ads account, and click on Tools and Settings.

  2. Choose Summary under the Billing sub-menu.

  3. On the payment screen, click on Remove Payment method.

  4. Do note that Google will not allow you to remove your existing card until you add a new one.

  5. In case you have just a single credit or debit card, you can re-enter the same card details.

Google will either add the new card and allow you to remove the existing one, or update it if it is the same.

Re-enter Your Card Details Every Time

If you do not wish to save your card, you might need to re-enter the card details every time you make a payment now. Here’s how it works:

  1. On the payment screen, choose credit card/debit card.
  2. Enter your card details manually and make the payment.

Do note that this applies in case you are using a Rupay card since Rupay requires you to make manual payments every time.

Add A New Primary Payment Method

If you see an error with your automatic payment stating that Payment may fail after 30th Sept, you might need to add a new primary payment method to set up your RBI e-mandate.

  1. Check if you’re able to see a Fix Now button when you log in to your Google Ads Account. Click on it. If you don’t see any pop-ups, follow the steps below.

  2. On the payment screen, choose credit card/debit card.
