"Although much time has passed and the company has been given ample opportunity, we have concluded that Mastercard is not complying with the requirements under the law on retention of payment system data," the Central Bank of India said.

According to British payments startup PPRO, Mastercard made 33% of total payments in India in 2021. In 2019, the company promised to invest $1 billion to expand its business in India.

Mastercard became the third payment system to be blocked by the Central Bank of India in 2021. Previously, American Express and Diners Club received the same punishment.
