Auto-debit is possible to configure for customers who do not have access to net banking or a debit card through one-time physical signature approval.
Customers can enter credit or debit card details, give standing instruction (SI) for future automated payments. Businesses can collect recurring payments of up to ₹15,000 without 2FA / OTPs.
A mandate is a contract between you and your customer that allows you to deduct funds from your customer on a pre-decided frequency with a pre-decided amount. e-Mandate, or electronic-Mandate is the online version of mandates where you can create, edit and delete the mandates online. e-NACH, short for Electronic National Automated Clearing House, serves as the framework that facilitates the processing of e-Mandates within India. This automated payment system enables smooth, digital, and recurring transactions up to ₹1 crore.
e-Mandates can be created for any customer who has an active bank account. The e-Mandates can be activated either with the customer's net banking details, Aadhar card or credit/debit card.
The corresponding bank authenticates the end-customer by asking them to enter their net banking credentials or their debit card credentials. Here, the debit card credentials are only used to authenticate the customer. This ensures that the e-Mandate transactions are uninterrupted even in the case of debit card expiry during the mandate tenure.
With Cashfree, e-Mandates are activated within 1 to 2 days.
Cashfree supports all 50+ banks supported by NPCI for e-Mandate registration. You can find the list of supported banks at NPCI's website.
Yes, the e-Mandate can be cancelled by raising a request with the bank. As soon as the bank approves the cancellation request, the e-Mandate is revoked. However, in case of mandates on loan repayments and EMI, mandates are non-revocable as per RBI guidelines.
Yes, you can modify the amount and payment frequency of e-Mandates from Cashfree's dashboard and send it to your customer for authorisation. Once your customer authorises the modified e-Mandate, the future payments would reflect the changes.
If the payment fails, the merchant can retry the payment again.
Utility Code or Corporate User ID is a User Identification Number that is allotted by NPCI. The Utility Code helps to identify the business in whose favour the mandate is being issued. A mandate request cannot be initiated without a Utility Code in the Mandate Management System.
