today i got my Indian bank evm master card global i went to atm and activated it by doing transaction(any atm would do not necessarily Indian bank). then i went to origin in shipping address i entered my address exactly as on passbook. and then i added my card and it worked. origin accepted my card just like credit card i could even purchase origin access. this is the best international card one can get for international transactions. and minimum avg bal for Indian bank is only rs250 (without cheque book) and 500(with chequebook)

and it works on steam too just bought gta5 using same, for every transaction they carge rs 30, so if u r buying from steam or origin first of all add all the games that u want to buy to cart and then proceed to pay. otherwise u will be carged rs30 for each game
so here is a bit updated, i saw my account details and looks like i wasnt charged by steam a single rupee, all neither transaction fees nor the verification fees, there was 0 transaction charge when i used it with steam, however when i registered with origin they deducted rs 65 from my account probably for verification. i think they will refund this amount , after that there was no transaction charges by origin what so ever.
