"Axis Bank Prime" is what it is written on the debit card.
Answering this very old question asked to soumo27

Re: Steam related discussions
you can use any international mastercard / visa debit card (axis / hdfc / whatever ) to purchase from steam or other international sites, but its not actually suggest-able. may be when you tried with your debit card in steam, you noticed it did not ask for your debitcard securecode. i am not exactly sure how it works, but this leads to my debit card information in unknown hands.
last time when i purchased from steam with my axisbank debit card, it immediately debited the price of purchase from my account. but, after a few days i again noticed few paise was debited from my account by steam without my authorization. may be it was due to currency adjustment, but actually means card going out of control.
its better to use credit cards or one time useable virtual cards (some bank offers this to customers registered with internet banking).

Re: Steam related discussions
Desi Mastercard/Maestro Debit Cards never work on international online merchants. Visa Debit Card from some banks works. Then you have ICICI's Visa Debit Card - which is working on Steam but fails on Android Market.
You can't generalise here - "they work. you can use any <........>"
The bold part is not true. Many people have tried using different Desi "International" Debit Cards on Steam, Android Market and the likes. Most have failed.you can use any international mastercard / visa debit card (axis / hdfc / whatever ) to purchase from steam or other international sites, but its not actually suggest-able. may be when you tried with your debit card in steam, you noticed it did not ask for your debitcard securecode. i am not exactly sure how it works, but this leads to my debit card information in unknown hands.

Re: Steam related discussions
Any international Debit Card should work in an online shop. The catch here is the 3DSecure code. Online Debit card transactions, in almost all cases, will fail if you are not asked to provide the code. If it has succeeded on a particular merchant/payment method, then it is an exception rather than the norm. As inconvenient as it can be sometimes, I really do not want my debit card transactions to go through without me providing the code. It is the final security barrier and I want that for cash in my bank account.
I once spent nearly half an hour trying to find out why my ICICI bank debit card wasn't working on Steam, and ultimately this was the reason. Even for Credit Cards there are similar guidelines but I guess they are more relaxed than in the case of Debit Cards.

Re: Steam related discussions
Bippukt has given the reason.
It is because RBI enforced a second verification mechanism for Desi Debit cards. For Visa, it is Verified By Visa and Mastercard/Maestro, it is 3D Securecode. This is not something international merchants adhere to.
Now what n00b banks do is, they keep on requesting VbV and Securecode even from international merchants. Reason = failed transaction.
Axis Bank does this - If Desi merchant, ask for VbV. If International merchant, don't ask for VbV and it works fine.
Punjab National Bank has it messed up. Same for ICICI, I guess. Not every bank has got its implementation right.
yup, it's exactly like "if they work, you can use them."hey, maestro has limited access, but if a mastercard/visa debit card has written "international" on it and doesn't work in international sites then it's weird.
then it's like - "if they work , you can use them"
