Pick the instrument that fits the programme.

Every card below is issued by an RBI-licensed partner under the Reserve Bank's Master Directions on Prepaid Payment Instruments. Limits and KYC levels are those the directions prescribe.

Corporate spend card

Company money with the policy on it. Full KYC of the company; KYC of each cardholder by the issuing partner. Category, budget and geography controls at authorisation.

Gift card

Single-load, non-reloadable, capped at the value the RBI permits. Minimum-detail onboarding for recipients, an expiry you set, and unspent balance swept back.

Reloadable card

A general-purpose reloadable instrument linked to a wallet the holder tops up over UPI, IMPS or NEFT. Full KYC. Works at ATM, POS, online and for bills on Bharat Connect.

Transit card (NCMC)

National Common Mobility Card compliant. Taps offline at metro, bus and parking gates, then reloads through the app alongside everyday retail spend.

Virtual first, physical when needed

Every type can be issued virtually in about a minute for online and in-app use, with a physical card personalised and despatched within days.

Your brand on the face

Card art, packaging and the cardholder app carry your branding. The partner issuer's marks appear as the regulations require.

Card lifecycle

Activate, freeze, unfreeze, replace, reissue, expire and close — from the console, the app or the API, with every action logged.

Load from one funding account

Fund the programme once from your verified bank account and distribute to individual cards on a schedule, on a trigger, or on demand.

Reload over UPI, IMPS, NEFT and gateway

For reloadable programmes, holders top up from their own bank accounts through the method they prefer.

At programme end or card expiry, unspent balances return to your funding account automatically, with a statement of what was returned from where.

Channel controls

Enable or disable ATM, POS, e-commerce, contactless and international per card or per programme, within what the instrument type permits.

Tokenised card data

Card numbers are tokenised and handled within a PCI-DSS scoped environment. Your systems and ours never store a PAN.

Cardholder app

Balance, transactions, limits, receipt capture, card freeze, PIN set and reset, and bill payment where the programme allows it.

Instant replacement

A lost card is frozen in a tap; a virtual replacement is available within minutes and a physical one is despatched. The balance follows the person.

Cardholder

Statements and notifications

Transaction alerts, monthly statements and expiry reminders by app, SMS, WhatsApp or email within the holder's consent.

Finance

Programme statement that reconciles

Loads, spends, reversals, sweep-backs and fees with references that tie to your bank and to the issuing partner.

Straight answers

Questions about cards.

Who issues the card and holds the balance?
An RBI-licensed partner bank or prepaid instrument issuer. Kadyan Paygate India builds and runs the platform; we hold no licence for issuing and never hold customer funds. Your contract names the issuing partner.
What are the limits on each card type?
Those set by the RBI's Master Directions on Prepaid Payment Instruments and applied by the issuing partner — in summary, small minimum-detail instruments up to ₹10,000 outstanding, full-KYC instruments up to ₹2,00,000, gift instruments up to ₹10,000 and non-reloadable. Our AML and KYC Policy sets these out.
How quickly can we get cards to people?
Virtual cards in about a minute once the holder's KYC is confirmed by the partner. Physical cards are personalised and despatched within days. A standard programme is live within seven days of the first call.
Can we use our own card design?
Yes. Card face, packaging and the cardholder app carry your brand, with the partner issuer's and network's marks placed as the regulations require.
What happens to unused balances?
On gift cards, whatever the programme rules and RBI directions allow; on corporate programmes, unused balance sweeps back to your funding account at expiry or programme end, with a statement of what was returned.
