If the RBI has its way, the CVV number alone may not be enough to undertake online transactions. The central bank is planning to make it mandatory for customers to enter all their card details i.e. name, 16-digit card number and expiry date, and CVV for every online payment, in an attempt to secure the card information. The new regulations are likely to kick in from January of 2022, according to media reports.
The revised rules will mean that everytime one makes a purchase on
Amazon and
Flipkart, pays through
Paytm and
Google Pay, or renews subscription on
Netflix, the details will have to be typed anew.
