AWS India Customers Can Now Setup Automated Recurring Payments On Their Cards

What's launched?

AWS India customers can now make automatic recurring payments for their invoices by setting up e-mandate on their credit or debit cards. Today customers in India pay their AWS invoices manually using credit card, debit cards, net-banking or UPI. With this launch, customers can eliminate all manual overhead by simply setting up automatic payments (upto INR 15,000) on their cards.

What is an e-mandate?

In India, an e-mandate refers to a digital payment service offered by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). It allows customers to setup automated recurring payments on their credit/debit cards by providing authorization to AWS . The e-mandate process involves customers providing consent to AWS (the entity receiving the payment) to initiate automatic deductions from their respective card.

How to setup automatic payments?

1. Login to your AWS account, and navigate to the Payments page.
2. On the Payments page, the Payments due table lists all of your remaining AWS bills.
3. Choose the invoice that you're paying in the Payments due table and select Complete payment.
4. In the Payment summary section, select the checkbox next to Charge this payment method automatically for future payments.
5. Note: You can’t select the checkbox to set up e-mandate if your credit or debit card is not supported, or if it is not set up as the default payment method. To change your default payment method, see Designate a default payment method.
6. Choose Verify and pay.
7. Bank redirects you to verify the payment and e-mandate setup. Once e-mandate is successfully configured, your default payment method on the Payment preferences page shows the status as AutoPay enabled.
8. Your future AWS bills up to INR 15,000 will be automatically charged to your credit or debit card each month, starting with the next billing cycle.
