Hey folks,
Thanks for reaching out to the Community.
Keep in mind that even if you've already used the card to pay for a different service, it's necessary to make sure that it meets these requirements so that you don't encounter any issues when subscribing.
If you're unsure about your card meeting any of these requirements, you can reach out to your bank for further info.
Lastly, if everything is in order and you're still having issues, you can contact our Support team here and they'll be happy to take a deeper look at what might be causing the issue.
Hope this info was helpful.
Have a good one 🙂

My Question or Issue
I don't get an option to pay through PayTM or BHIM UPI for 12 month subscription for student discount. Whereas 1 month subscription can be paid through the above mentioned payment methods. Kindly help.
Hey @kubersood,
Thanks for coming to the Community.
Unfortunately, not all payment methods are available for all plans/offers. If you don't see the payment method that you'd like to use on the payment page, then it's currently not available.
Hope this helps 🙂
I'm facing the same issue being a debit cardholder. I hope, they'll come up with other options like PayPal or debit cards for monthly subscription, instead of just credit cards.
Hi.
I just wanted to know whether the student discount plan for a year will be available by paying through paytm in the future?
Not sure though. For now, the only available option is prepaid plan using Paytm, which you have to explicitly do after every month.

@Peter I may have some information that I have to pass on to you, so that you "may" narrow your search on a possible conflict with processing payments from Indian banks. This issue, however, may be limited to debit cards that are eligible for international transactions.
