The branch where my account is in is not ready to give me a MASTER/VISA card in replacement for my RuPay card. I consider MASTER/VISA variant to be premium as it can be used internationally and is based in the U.S. Is there any way I can get it from elsewhere or from any other branch? I tried calling customer care and they said my only option is to upgrade to a platinum debit card which is 750 + taxes. Any help?

most banks have two debit cards. one is usually the basic one that costs around 250 bucks plus taxes these days. then there is the premium card that costs around 850 bucks plus taxes.
regular card has a lower daily withdrawal limit. premium card has a higher limit and might include some extras like discounted deals in some restaurants and other stuff.
i am assuming that the rupay card given to OP was free of cost? if not, he should just get ready to pay for the premium debit or move to a better bank :\
atm cards usually do not work outside the atm machines. though mastercard or visa branding might allow for some retail support? hard to say. i have not seen a purely atm card in many many years.

Whats wrong with Rupay? They can also be used for international transactions.
i wonder if the government has made it mandatory for banks to offer rupay as the default basic card on new accounts 
there have been indication that they want rupay to become a competitive player in the market and become the standard at least domestically.
it's stupid really. another reason why a global currency is the need of the hour.
