Users of Google Pay in India will now have to pay an additional Rs 3 when using the app's UPI function to recharge their phones. This is different from Google Pay's prior policy of not assessing additional fees for these kinds of purchases. Google Pay now has a convenience fee, putting it in line with other payment providers like Paytm and PhonePe that charge for comparable offerings.
When a user posted a screenshot online showing a Rs. 3 convenience fee on a Rs. 749 Jio prepaid recharge plan, other users became aware of this modification. According to reports, this cost is charged for both card and UPI transactions.
Details provided by tipster Mukul Sharma on X (Formerly Twitter) shed light on the specifics of these charges. Recharge plans below Rs. 100 won't incur a convenience fee, while plans ranging from Rs. 100 to Rs. 200 and Rs. 200 to Rs. 300 will have charges of Rs. 2 and Rs. 3, respectively. Transactions exceeding Rs. 300 will face a Rs. 3 convenience fee.
Although Google has not officially announced these convenience fees, recent updates to the terms of service for Indian users reference the new charges. The terms state that users will be informed about applicable fees before completing a transaction and that these fees are subject to the company's discretion.
