Mumbai, June 16

The RBI on Thursday lifted restrictions on Mastercard that it had imposed last year for failing to comply with local data storage norms.

The central bank had barred the US-based payment gateway from onboarding new customers until it complies with storage of Payment System Data norms.

“In view of the satisfactory compliance demonstrated by Mastercard Asia/Pacific Pte. Ltd…on storage of payment system data, the restrictions imposed…on onboarding of new domestic customers have been lifted with immediate effect,” the RBI said. The RBI had barred Mastercard from onboarding new domestic customers (debit, credit or prepaid) onto its card network from July 22, 2021.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
