FAQ :

Tokenisation is a process that allows authorised card networks to offer card tokenisation services, replacing sensitive card details with a unique token for transactions.

The scope has been extended to include consumer devices such as laptops, desktops, wearables (like wrist watches and bands), and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

Previously, the facility for card tokenisation was only available for mobile phones and tablets.

The extension is expected to make card transactions more safe, secure, and convenient for users.

This directive was issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
