    WALLET FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

    What is PhonePe? What payment options does PhonePe provide?

    PhonePe is a new mobile payment solution. Our goal is to make digital payments so easy and safe that people never have to carry cash or cards again!

    You can use PhonePe as a wallet or directly make transfers through your linked bank account using UPI. It's safe, easy and instant, you have to use it to believe it!

    What is UPI? What is the advantage of UPI transfers over wallets?

    "Unified Payment Interface" (UPI) is an instant payment system that allows you to transfer money directly from your bank account. The best part about UPI is that it allows you to make payments with a few clicks without the hassle of sharing bank a/c details or typing your card details, net banking password, OTP, etc.

    There are many advantages of UPI. The main advantage is that you don't have to block your money by loading it into a wallet. Simply link your bank account and then you can make seamless payments without having to worry about topping up a wallet, wallet spend limits or not earning interest on your money. Makes sense to use UPI for direct bank transfer rather than the plethora of wallets, doesn't it?

    How do I activate PhonePe wallet?

    PhonePe wallet activation is currently available on Android 4.0 / iOS version 8 and above only for mobile devices and via our website. As a part of the one-time activation process, you need to provide the following details:

    • Name
    • Email ID
    • Mobile Number (will be OTP verified, if not done so already)

    Will my Wallet money ever expire?

    Individual components under Wallet have different expiry rules.

    Like, Gift Cards stored in your Wallet will have their own validity period. Similarly, PhonePe wallet is valid for 24 months from the time of activation or 24 months from the last transaction, whichever is later. PhonePe wallet expires once the validity period is over.

    What are the limits, rules and restrictions that govern PhonePe wallet?

    PhonePe wallet is governed by the Reserve Bank of India's Prepaid Instrument and Domestic Money Transfer Guidelines.

    Simply put,

    • At any point of time, the PhonePe wallet balance cannot exceed Rs.10,000.
    • Any inflow of PhonePe wallet through refunds cannot exceed Rs.10,000 per month.
    • Any transfers from PhonePe wallet to your bank account are restricted to Rs.5,000 per transaction and Rs.25,000 per month.

    How does my PhonePe wallet get loaded? Can I top-up my wallet?

    There are 4 main ways for cash to flow into your wallet:

    • Refunds - when you buy from affiliated merchants using your PhonePe wallet or by COD, they can refund back to your wallet.
    • Failed transactions- If paid through the wallet, the amount would come back to your wallet
    • Cashbacks - Any kind of cashback offered by PhonePe or merchant will show up in your wallet.
    • P2P transfers - If a friend sends money to you from his/her wallet, it will showup in your wallet.

    Rather than topping up wallet and spending through that, which is a 2-step process, we provide an easier feature of linking your bank a/c and spending directly through it. This faster, easier, plus you don't lock money in wallets.

    Can I transfer funds from PhonePe wallet? If yes, how much can be transferred?

    Yes, you can transfer funds from PhonePe wallet to your bank account using the Bank Account Number and Branch IFSC Code. You can transfer a maximum of ₹5,000 in a single transaction and a maximum of ₹25,000 in a month.

    Are there any charges for transferring PhonePe wallet to bank account?

    Currently, as a part of our promotional offer, we are not charging for withdrawals to bank. However, such withdrawals might be charged in future about which, you will be duly notified.

    Can I use an International phone number to activate PhonePe wallet?

    No, currently PhonePe wallet is available only for domestic mobile numbers.

    Can I transfer PhonePe wallet to my friend's Wallet?

    You can transfer money from your wallet to your friend's wallet, but you cannot transfer the wallet ownership. That feature has not yet been activated.

    You can also transfer Gift Cards to your friend's Wallet.

    How safe is PhonePe?

    Every transaction on PhonePe requires you to enter your M-PIN which is known only to you. You should not share this M-PIN. In addition, PhonePe has an app lock feature which hinders unauthorized access.

    All transaction initiated over PhonePe are carried out over secure bank networks and all communications between PhonePe and banks are over encrypted channels.

    I am trying to link my bank a/c for UPI txns but do not find my bank in the list.

    PhonePe runs on the UPI payment platform which is currently supported by multiple banks. As of now only accounts from these banks can be linked with PhonePe to send and receive money.

    If your bank is not on this list, you can still manually link your bank a/c by entering the a/c number and IFSC code. However this a/c can only be used to receive money, not send money.

    What if I change my handset?

    If you change your handset, you need to download the PhonePe app again, enter your app PIN and send SMS to verify your mobile number and your PhonePe account will be restored.

    Can I continue using my PhonePe account if my mobile number changes?

    If your mobile number changes you will first have to update your mobile number with your bank.

    Then you have to enter your old mobile number and PhonePe password in your PhonePe app, verify your mobile number by sending an sms and your old PhonePe account will be restored.

    For security reasons this account will be activated after 24 hours.

    Purchasing on Flipkart using Wallet

    How do I use Wallet to make a payment?

    At the time of making a payment, you will be able to view the available balance in your Wallet and you can use it for the transaction. There might be some instances where the complete balance might not be sufficient for the purchase. The reasons for the same will be displayed.

    What if my Wallet is not sufficient to make a transaction? Can I partially pay using Wallet?

    Yes. You can redeem your Wallet for the purchase, and the remaining amount can be paid using any of the other payment options (For example: Credit/Debit Card, Net Banking). These will be displayed on the same page.

    For now, you cannot use Wallet for Cash On Delivery (COD) orders or on orders containing items from multiple sellers.

    What happens when I return an item purchased using Wallet?

    The money is refunded back to the original payment source.

    • If Gift Cards were redeemed in the original transaction, then the same will be refunded to the respective Gift Cards.
    • Similarly, the amount originally redeemed from your PhonePe wallet will be refunded as PhonePe wallet. If a bank transfer was made over UPI, it will be refunded back to your account.

    Despite having balance, I am unable to use Wallet as a payment option for some of the purchases. What are the reasons for this?

    When an order is placed with items from different sellers, Wallet might not be usable as a payment option. We are working on enabling this functionality soon.
