India debit cards market is expected to grow at a formidable rate during the forecast period. A debit card or check card or bank card is connected to a bank account and allows the cardholder electronic access to the account. Debit cards have become so popular that they have almost replaced cheques and are even increasingly being used in place of cash. Debit cards are used quite often to make purchases over the internet or via telephone, like a credit card.

Improving consumer financial characteristics and lifestyle are the key factors driving the India debit cards market. Additionally, the November 2016 demonetization, spiked the use of debit cards in the country, thereby further propelling growth in the market. Furthermore, features such as no debt, theft protection, no fees, no requirement of application or credit score, among others are some of the features associated with debit cards, which are fueling their demand across the country.

The India debit cards market is segmented based on system types, type, payment terminals, region and company. Based on system types, the market can be fragmented into online, offline, electronic pulse card systems and prepaid debit cards. The offline system types are expected to dominate the market during forecast period since they are used at the point of sale just like the credit cards. These may be subjected to a daily limit, and/or a maximum limit equal to the current/checking account balance from which it draws funds. Transactions conducted with offline debit cards require 2–3 days to be reflected on users’ account balances. Based on type, the market can be categorized into Mastercard, Visa, RuPay, Visa Electron, Maestro, Contactless and others. The visa card type is expected to hold the largest market share during forecast period. This can be attributed to the factor that visa offers the verified by visa platform for enhanced security during online transactions. Based on payment terminals, the market can be bifurcated into POS and ATMs. The POS terminals are expected to register significant growth during forecast period attributable to the high cost of setting up and maintaining ATM machines.
