Consolidated Digital Payment E-Mandate Framework 2026
Summary
The Reserve Bank of India has issued consolidated directions on the Digital Payments – E-mandate framework, 2026. The new framework consolidates existing instructions on e-mandates and incorporates minor changes based on stakeholder feedback. The directions take effect immediately upon issuance.

Entities offering e-mandate-based digital payment services in India should conduct a gap assessment against the consolidated framework to identify any process or system changes required.
