| Decision factor | YES BANK PMJDY RuPay Chip Debit Card | Axis Bank Basic Savings Account Debit Card |
|---|---|---|
| Cost / charges | Current YES BANK debit-card directory lists joining fee NIL; the PMJDY savings proposition describes the RuPay debit card as lifetime free. | Fee treatment is governed by the BSBDA/basic-account schedule; the regulatory basic card facility is not modeled as a premium paid card. |
| Linked account | No standalone card balance requirement; linked PMJDY/BSBDA account has zero minimum balance under current terms. | Requires the linked Axis Basic Savings Bank Deposit Account, which has no minimum balance requirement. |
| Core benefits | RuPay debit-card access and insurance cover up to the amount stated by the current YES/RuPay programme subject to activation/claim conditions. | Basic ATM/POS/e-commerce debit access subject to card controls and BSBDA account rules. |
| Transaction limits | Use the current YES BANK debit-card/account schedule for transaction limits; no higher premium-card limit is assumed for this PMJDY card. | Axis's current migration FAQ lists up to ₹1 lakh ATM withdrawal and ₹4.5 lakh e-commerce/POS daily limits for the Basic Savings Account Debit Card. |
| Eligibility | Eligible YES BANK PMJDY/basic-account customers under current issuance/KYC rules. | Mapped to Axis Basic Savings Bank Deposit Account customers under current Axis account/debit documentation. |
| Account relationship | Explicit PMJDY debit card for the bank's zero-balance financial-inclusion account proposition. | Explicit account-segment mapping from Axis BSBDA to the Basic Savings Account Debit Card. |
