don't know how last month it worked but yesterday i got emails from my bank as well as apple that subscription transaction was declined.
bank says -"Reason for transaction decline is: Effective 1st Oct 2021, the Bank will have to decline all such recurring transactions on cards initiated by merchants non compliant with the new RBI guidelines."
asked apple support but they have not responded. it appears they either are clueless or know apple has not complied with the guidelines.
saw some people's response at different places that sbi mastercard & icici visa are working for some.
2 weeks back i asked a bank rm how it worked for me when their website says apple has not complied but no one has any answers there as well. this has become a big mystery now.
