Using the UPI AutoPay launched by NPCI, customers can now enable recurring e-mandate using any UPI application for recurring payments such as mobile bills, electricity bills, EMI payments, entertainment/OTT subscriptions, insurance, mutual funds among others.

Here’s what this means for Jio subscribers:

Jio users will no longer need to remember their date of recharge once the validity ends.
The Jio plan opted by the customers would be auto renewed on the set date.
For recharge amounts up to Rs 5,000, customers do not have to enter the UPI PIN on the execution of the recharge.
Users can also create, modify, and remove the e-mandate for the tariff plans as per their requirements through UPI Autopay.
