The news arrives after the Cupertino based giant notified developers regarding a change in Indian’s local payments system. Now, the iPhone maker is asking developers to promote the payments being made through the Apple ID balance, with the company now offering a 20 percent bonus to Indian users that are adding funds on their IDs. This was also shared by developer Mustafa Yusuf on Twitter (Via 9To5Mac).
Furthermore, this promotional offer is valid through 31st October 2021 and will be available when adding 100 to 15,000 INR (roughly from 1 to 199 US Dollars) to the Apple ID. In other words, if a user adds 2,000 INR to their Apple ID, they can avail a bonus of 400 INR on their account. Similarly, if the funds being added amounts to 10,000 INR, then the bonus amount will include an extra 2,000 INR.
Notably, the move from the brand arrives as a new directive from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) mandates banks to require user approval through a new authentication system in order to approve recurring transactions using credit and debit cards. The smartphone maker stated that the new directive will impact apps with the auto renewable subscription payment systems, so it has asked developers to promote payments from its the company’s ID balance as it won’t be affected by the new changes from RBI.
