Blocked debit cards may still trigger subscription debits

2026-10-11 · 1 source · Mint Money

In short

A blocked or replaced debit card may still let subscription payments go through if the payment mandate is still active.

The report says people should check their card mandates and UPI AutoPay settings. It matters because subscriptions can keep charging even after a card is blocked.

What the reporting says

Blocked or replaced debit cards may still allow recurring subscription payments if the e-mandate stays active or moves to a replacement card, according to a publisher-supplied summary. The report explains card mandates and UPI AutoPay and says customers should act to stop unwanted debits. No specific bank, app, or customer case is named in the available reporting.

Why it matters

The report says blocking a debit card may not stop recurring subscription charges if the e-mandate remains active or is linked to a replacement card. It also mentions UPI AutoPay as part of recurring payments. The immediate issue is for customers who may face unwanted debits, but the source does not name any bank, platform, or specific case.
