[bala_cpu]

great information from the op... was lurking all over the net to find the very same details.

Thanks, now I understand why Visa / Master Card Debit Cards doesn't work on Steam, Paypal and all. (Except Axis)

But why do CC's work? What I want to ask is, the way Debit Cards requests VbV/3DSC, CC's request that too for Indian merchant. So how does they work if the implementation is wrong?

Banks don't force the request of VbV/SDSC on International merchants when using Credit Card.

^^So the flexible implementation is only there for CC's but not for Debit Cards.

Citibank will give a choice between Mastercard and Maestro. After reading the OP, you should know what you should take. I was not so well informed when I got my Maestro.

I am using BoB Debit Card, and want to purchase Asphalt 7 fro 14 Rs (special offer from Google Play). But transaction was not approved.

Then i came across this post to know about Indian Debit Cards. It sucks. I don't have a CC. So, i guess my purchase will not happen.

^^ Use EntroPay to create a Virtual Credit Card(VCC). and then add some funds to it and then use it in Google Wallet. also check if BoB provides VCC.

HDFC credit card on MasterCard network has been working for Google Wallet an all services which use it for payment like Play store n Drive.

BoB does not provide VCC AFAIK. But I think we should be able to transfer funds using the VISA network.

Edit : It says on wikipedia that Entropay does not provide address verification, so sites that rely on such transactions will fail. And, Google Wallet requires address verification AFAIK.

You are right. BoB doesn't support VCC. Even Kotak Mahindra Bank has that.
