JIO Debuts UPI Autopay Feature For Both Prepaid & Postpaid Users

Jio and the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) have announced the launch of UPI AUTOPAY for the first in the telecom industry to launch the e-mandate feature. JIO users can now set up standing instructions for their favourite tariff plans using UPI AUTOPAY on the MyJio App and relish a hassle-free recharge and bill payment service. With this introduction, Jio subscribers will no longer need to remember their recharge date after their validity period has expired, as their Jio plan will be automatically renewed on the chosen date. Customers do not need to provide their UPI PIN while recharging their JIO number up to INR 5000, and users may also use UPI AUTOPAY to construct, alter, and delete e-mandates for tariff plans according to their preferences.

At the launch event Kunal Kalawatia, Chief of Products, NPCI said, "We are glad to associate with Jio and witness UPI AUTOPAY venturing into the ever-evolving telecom sector. We believe our collaboration will change the way Jio customers experience renewal of their mobile tariff plans. With UPI AUTOPAY, it's our constant endeavor at NPCI to provide an extra layer of comfort and convenience to all the customers for their recurring spends and payments. We believe that this integration will drive a favorable customer sentiment about seamless and automated recurring payments."

Mr. Kiran Thomas, Director, Jio said, "The combination of Jio's superior prepaid and postpaid plans and UPI AUTOPAY will now be available to every Jio user. Jio users 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."
