In a new update by Apple, they have added a a bunch of new payment methods for users in India, which could be used in purchasing apps and games and even subscribing to Apple Arcade, Apple TV, and Apple Music.
The new payment methods include the following:
- UPI
- RuPay

You can also use these methods to add funds in your Apple account. The balance can be used to pay the monthly rental of steaming services such as Apple Arcade, Apple One, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and buy apps off their App Store.
What is RuPay?
RuPay is an Indian financial services provider and payment service system that is similar with Visa and MasterCard. This platform was launched in 2021 and it is used to facilitate real time electronic payments throughout the country. Banks and financial institutions use this in India.
What Is UPI?
UPI is a instant payment network that was launched in 2016. This platform is used by people in India to make online payments and stepping away from going with cash. Google Pay, PhonePe and PayTM are the 3 main apps that are mostly used for this type of payment method.
