## About the Reserve Bank of India's recurring payments regulation

19-
A new payments regulation from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) recently came into effect. This regulation places additional requirements on recurring online transactions and has prevented some {% data variables.product.company_short %} customers in India from making recurring payments. Customers using payment methods issued in India for any recurring transactions on {% data variables.product.github %} may find that their payments are declined by their banks or card issuers. For more information, see [the RBI's press release](https://www.rbi.org.in/Scripts/BS_PressReleaseDisplay.aspx?prid=51353).

## About recurring payments on {% data variables.product.company_short %}
31+
32+
{% data variables.product.company_short %} supports RBI-compliant payment mandates for customers in India with eligible credit card payment methods. A payment mandate allows {% data variables.product.company_short %} to automatically charge your saved payment method for recurring payments without manual action during each billing cycle.
33+
34+
You can continue to save and remove payment methods the same way. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/billing/how-tos/set-up-payment/manage-payment-info).
35+
36+
If your saved payment method cannot be charged automatically, you may need to make a one-time payment for the current billing cycle.

As we work with our payment gateway provider to meet the new requirements, we are providing a temporary one-time payment option for impacted customers in India. From February 15th 2022, {% data variables.product.company_short %} customers in India who have been affected by the new RBI regulation will be able to make one-time payments on their regular billing cycle cadence.

Customers on monthly billing plans will be able to make a one-time payment on the same day their billing cycle usually renews. For example, if you're usually billed on the 7th of each month, you will now be able to make a one-time payment from your account from the 7th of each month. Your first one-time payment will also include any accrued usage from October 2021 onwards.

If you are billed yearly, and your renewal date was between October 1st, 2021 and February 14th, 2022, you will be able to make a one-time payment for your annual subscriptions from February 15th. This initial payment will include the prorated outstanding cost of your subscription for the period since your previous billing cycle ended.

If your billing cycle is due to renew after February 15th, we will attempt to take the recurring payment. If the payment attempt is declined, you will then be able to make a one-time payment through your account's billing page.
