Reliance Jio Users Can Now Recharge their Jio Number Through Bank ATM, Here’s How

In an interesting move, Reliance Jio has announced that its subscribers will be able to recharge their Jio number through select ATMs. The move comes just four days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the nationwide lockdown that at least for the time being will extend till April 15. The lockdown has affected the number of recharges being done across the nation since a large number of mobile recharge shops continue to remain shut throughout the country. With a large number of people dependent on these outlets for their recharges not being able to recharge, Jio has announced this new avenue for people to recharge their Jio numbers. While we believe that doing online recharges is an overall easier method, we do think to have one more avenue for recharges during these tough times is a welcome move.
Anyway, let us now check how to perform a Jio recharge using your friendly neighbourhood ATM.

How to recharge your Jio number through ATM

First off, it is important to know that only a select number of ATMs have been endowed with this recharge functionality. These ATMs belong to select banks as well. Currently, ATMs owned by State Bank of India, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, IDBI Bank, Citibank, DCB Bank, AUF Bank, and Standard Chartered Bank support the Jio recharge function. In case you have an ATM from one of these banks nearby, here’s how to perform the recharge. To start the process, you will require your debit card with the required balance for the recharge amount in your account.

• Step 1: Insert your card into the ATM
• Step 2: Look for the ‘recharge’ option and select it
• Step 3: Enter the mobile number you wish to recharge
• Step 4: Enter your ATM pin
• Step 5: Choose your recharge amount. You will need to select your desired plan and recharge value in advance for the same.
• Step 6: To confirm your recharge, press the ‘Enter’ key. The selected amount will be debited from your account, and you will get a recharge SMS from Jio.

As you might have guessed by now, this is simply one more avenue for recharging your Jio number during these tough times. ATMs being part of essential services, continue to remain operational during the entire period of lockdown. All said, it is advisable that you remain at home and perform an online recharge, which we believe is still an easier procedure overall.
