Does this affect my ongoing discovery+ subscription in any way?

No. You can continue to enjoy your discovery+ subscription without any changes.

This change will only affect customers who are trying to buy a new subscription or renew their subscription. 

Note: Starting October 1, 2021, owing to RBI-mandated changes in banking regulations, customers might potentially face some issues with their payment for discovery+ subscriptions. 

We’re working very closely with various payment ecosystem partners, who are in the process of implementing the mandated changes, to ensure a seamless and compliant payment process.
