Practically of no use for recurring subscriptions for digital goods/services which is where the best deals come during major sales abroad because of absurd RBI rules requiring payment gateway to follow RBI guidelines for recurring payments. It has been more than 2 years & till now less than 10 international merchants support this new system.
to use credit cards with recurring payments of indian credit cards in foreign things is via through paypal i guess, direct auto debit on credit card is banned as per RBI which you already mentioned:)
but paypal autodebit with Indian credit card works without otp:) just paypal will ask extra currency conversion charge
hope it helps:)
guest_999 btw can you share the list of that 10 international merchants? would help me out:)

So if American banks support it and merchants like Amazon USA, eBay, Walmart and payment methods like PayPal accept RuPay, then it will work on those websites? Hopefully many years from now when the Visa/Mastercard duopoly is broken in the US
