Update 2: According to RBI Guidelines, Merchant has to use the 2-way authentication to make payment from Debit Card. Both Google Play & Apple Store need to change their implement to meet the RBI Guidelines. Uber facing the same problem, they resolved it by partnering with PayTM Wallet.

Update: Looks like Debit Card users facing the problem with other International sites like Amazon, Paypal etc.

Since last month, I was facing an issue with my Axis Bank Debit Card (VISA) on Google Play store. Google Wallet rejected my VISA Debit card and after that, I’m not able to add any VISA debit card on Google Wallet. I contacted my bank and  Google Help support.  however, I did not  get a proper response. Yesterday when I tried once again and I got a proper reply from Both Axis Bank & Google Support. Both confirmed that this failure is  due to change in Google Wallet System, Axis bank Visa Debit  card will not work on Google Play store.

Axis Bank said:

We need to inform you that, due to the current change in the Apple store and Google wallets currencies being displayed in INR, we are facing an issue at our backend.

  11. Hi, I have an Allahabad Bank visa Intl Debit card and I am also facing the same issue on Google play store and Steam store. Is there any way of resolving this?

  12. First of all thanks to Mr. Gaurav Bhakuni for commenting about Digi Purse from Union Bank Of India. All the people out there who wants to buy apps/games from Google Play legitimately with your name and Indian phone/address. Then just go to google play and install Digi Purse from Union Bank Of India. (Don’t read the reviews it’s all bullshit) Go and sign up, but first you have to transfer 500/- INR through Internet banking/Debit Card/Credit from any Indian Banks to TopUp your Digi Wallet (Only for the first time). Then after this go straight away to http://www.wallet.google.com and then go to billing and then add your Digipurse (VISA) card number CVV/Expiry, your own real address and phone number. It will accept the details Immediately as I did just now, you will be debited/deducted 1$ US Dollar = 50/- INR from you Digi Purse. And from then on just TopUp your wallet and buy apps/games in Indian Currency. HOOORAAAYY!!! I did it just now, and it worked flawlessly. CHEERS to all.! :-))))

Looks like that amount is wasted, so i don’t want to waste again my hard earned money lol.
