My debit card has expired, so I requested ICICI to issue me a Rupay debit card. Their customer service then called me and said that RBI has banned ICICI from issuing RuPay cards. 


I just wanted to know if this is a lie?

UPDATE: As per @abhishek012 advice, I called up icici customer support and demanded to issue a Rupay debit card. I said that your customer service lied to me and that if RBI has banned you'll, then no problem but please send me an email saying that rbi has banned you.

Customer service then apologised. They then cancelled the request of visa debit card and created a new request of a Rupay debit card.

I will keep you'll updated

Heard this first time.

Try another executive, if he repeats the same, just say, I don't want to deal with a bank which is banned by RBI, and I want to close account😂, they will come to their senses.. 

I saw few posts by @abhishek012 where people are getting Icici Visa Coral Credit replaced by Rupay recently  and their CC say these type of things..

What has RBI to do with banning Icici and Rupay? It should be NPCI. Just bluffing anything and everything.

If you start calling ICICI customer care for Rupay in the morning and make 100 calls, by the end of the day you will get enough material to write a script of a suspense thriller.

ICICI only favour visa card because Visa is ICICI's core banking partner.

Sometimes you will get same reply for mastercard too.

You need to force them to issue RuPay card.

Not yet.

Currently, Axis bank IndianOIL credit card is LTF (mostly everyone got RuPay variant).

Didn't ask but 99% chance LTF will also carry over.

Nothing as such. its just that ICICI dont give rupay dc very easily. It takes much effort to get a RuPay dc issued from ICICI.
