New Delhi: Telecom major Reliance Jio has become the first telecom company to launch UPI autopay facility for both prepaid and postpaid subscribers.
Jio on Thursday tied up with the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) and become the first telecom firm to roll out this service in India.
According to news reports, Jio users can now recharge or pay bills by setting standing instructions on the MyJio App using autopay feature. This new feature of Jio has made it the first player in the telecom industry to go live with the unique e-mandate feature that was launched by the NPCI.
The NPCI in a statement said, “Jio’s integration with UPI autopay has made it the first player in the telecom industry to go live with the unique e-mandate feature that was launched by NPCI.”
According to a report, Kiran Thomas, director, Jio, said, “The combination of Jio’s superior prepaid and postpaid plans and UPI autopay will now be available to every user. The customers will no longer need to remember their recharge renewal date or bill payment date and perform manual payments. This will enable an always-on service experience for every Jio prepaid user.”
This means that Jio users will no longer have to remember their recharge or renewal dates, for their chosen plan. It will be auto-renewed under the UPI autopay feature as their plan’s validity expires.
As per requirements, Jio subscribers can modify, remove, or create the e-mandates. Jio has also came up with a plan for its customers who wish to recharge amounts up to Rs 5,000. Users now don’t have to enter the UPI PIN for recharge up to Rs 5,000.
