RBI mandates tokenisation of debit and credit cards from October 1, here are the new rules kicking in | FAQ

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has announced new rules for debit and credit card holders from October 1. Under these rules, the users are required to tokenise their debit and credit cards. The last date to tokenise your cards is September 30.

But what actually is tokenisation? Here’s all you need to know about it.

What is tokenisation of Debit and Credit cards?

As per the RBI, tokenisation refers to the replacement of actual card details with an alternate code called the token.

What is the benefit of tokenisation?

Since the merchant is not given access to the actual card information while completing the transaction, tokenized card transactions are perceived to be safer.

How can the tokenisation be carried out?

By submitting a request through the token requestor’s app, the cardholder can have their card tokenized.

How to tokenise your card?

Step 1: Visit the merchant’s website or app and initiate a transaction.
Step 2: Select the credit or debit card and enter the CVV details.

Step 4: After that, you will receive the OTP on your registered mobile number.
Step 5: Now, the tokenisation process is done.

Can you de-tokenise the card?

What are the charges that the customer needs to pay for availing of this service?

The customer need not pay any charges for availing of this service.

How is tokenisation different from Credit and Debit cards?

The 16-digit card number will be replaced with a token that is created by the card network and sent back to the retailer. The retailer will keep a record of this token for the next transactions. To continue with the approval process, they must enter their CVV and OTP.

Adani, Torrent compete to purchase Gujarat Titans from CVC Capital

The probable sale of the Gujarat Titans, with the lock-in period coming to a close, will therefore be a defining moment in the changing face of IPL investments.

The Adani Group and Torrent Group are currently negotiating a deal with private equity firm CVC Capital Partners to offload a controlling stake in the Indian Premier League franchise Gujarat Titans. According to sources, close to the development, reports say CVC Capital Partners will be looking to sell a majority interest while retaining a minority share in the franchise.

This becomes important because it is aligned with the end of the lock-in period by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), which restricts any new teams from selling stakes until February 2025. The three-year-old franchise Gujarat Titans is reportedly worth $1 billion to $1.5 billion. CVC Capital Partners had paid ₹5,625 crore for the franchise in 2021.

A source close to the development pointed out that IPL franchises have attracted many investors’ interest since the league has proved an asset with a good reputation for money-making capabilities and cash flows. This growing interest of investors embodies the financial value and stability that come with the IPL franchises.

Gautam Adani, who owns teams in the Women’s Premier League and UAE-based International League T20, is understood to be one of the serious buyers. In 2023, Adani’s group won the Ahmedabad franchise in the WPL with a bid of Rs1,289 crore, the highest offer. His interests in this potential deal signal his commitment to expanding his footprint in the cricketing world.

Arvinder Singh, COO of Gujarat Titans, exuded confidence in the financial future of the franchise. He said the team was confident of turning profitable in the next media rights cycle, referring to even the original ten IPL franchises that took four to five years to turn profitable. He added confidently that the Gujarat Titans would not only turn profitable but significantly enhance in brand value.
 
This surging interest of investors in it is evidence of the growing financial attractiveness of IPL franchises, driven by healthy revenue streams and an increasing global footprint. The probable sale of the Gujarat Titans, with the lock-in period coming to a close, will therefore be a defining moment in the changing face of IPL investments.
