Hi. I want to purchase an app (Poweramp to be precise) from Play Store. I originally wanted to pay using PayPal but there is no option for that. I tried using my PNB MasterCard debit card but it says the card number is invalid. I have verified the card number and it's correct. What is the issue here and how can I make the purchase?

Debit Cards aren't officialy supported(except cards from a few banks). Check this: *www.digit.in/forum/internet-www/161111-must-read-information-regarding-indian-debit-cards-60.html

Okay, so what am I left with? Poweramp is close to $3 on it's website but just 62 bucks on Play Store. Does ICICI and HDFC work?

Apparently HDFC & ICICI(do work for most people posting in the above thread) but I don't have personal experience from them. The safest bet to make a purchase would obviously be a Credit Card.

ICICI should work considering that it worked for me on ebay.com

SBI DC is crap for online international transactions. They don't have the back-end to separate the sites which require 3DS Code/OTP and those which don't.

Might be a problem with your branch.

Some CC's work on password rather then OTP. Contacting your bank to change this is the only way to do it.

May be.Will have to call their CC.

I asked an acquaintance on fine and he told me that the bank might not provide OTP and rather provide straight up password.

I mean to say there are certain which will only provide you a single password for usage instead of providing you a OTP.

This option comes when purchasing from website but on app it says with CC or voucher redemption.

Sorry your pic not working. But it could have started showing up since I haven't used the option in the longest of time.
