Apple is offering a 20% bonus to Indian users who add funds to their Apple ID as the technology company is asking developers to promote payments using the Apple ID balance.
According to a news report, the company is notifying the users about a 20% bonus when adding funds to an Indian Apple ID account.
The offer is valid through October 31 and is available when adding Rs 100 to Rs 15,000 to the Apple ID balance.
For example, if a user adds Rs 2,000 to their Apple ID, they will get Rs 400 as a bonus. If the amount added is Rs 10,000, the user will get an extra Rs 2,000 in their Apple ID.
As per the new directive from Reserve Bank of India, the banks require user approval through a new authentication system to approve recurring transactions using credit and debit cards, said the report.
Apple said that the new directive will impact apps with auto-renewable subscriptions, so that is why the company asks developers to promote payments using the Apple ID balance, as it won't be impacted by the new measures.
The report also said that it is indeed great to offer 20% bonus to encourage Indian users to change their payment method to avoid issues with Apple's in-app purchase system.
