Reliance Jio allows users to borrow some data (at no extra cost) when the data runs out and cannot be recharged immediately.Â
The company offers an emergency data loan pack of 1GB to its customers. This is visible in the company’s My Jio app. To activate the data one just needs to tap on the hamburger menu and go to the “Emergency Data Loan” tab.
The Emergency Data Loan facility basically provides ‘Recharge Now and Pay Later’ functionality to the customers. This is special for those whose daily data gets exhausted and cannot recharge immediately. In simple words, if you are not able to make the payment even after exhausting the data, you can get the loan immediately and pay it later.
According to the Indian Express report, there is no time limit for paying the data loan amount and it is entirely up to the Jio users as to when they want to make the payment. If the loan amount is not paid, the company sends a reminder. Reliance Jio allows its prepaid users to borrow up to 5 emergency data loan packs of 1GB each. It should be noted that each 1GB data pack costs Rs 11.
Will get 5GB data
At a time, you can only borrow 1GB of data and if you want up to 5GB of data, you can avail the emergency data loan facility by activating it four times. If a customer takes 5GB data, then the total data loan amount will be Rs 55. According to the company’s app, the Jio emergency loan pack depends on the validity of your main plan.
5GB data should be more than enough and will provide relief to those who are not able to pay immediately due to some reason. Let us know how you can get the loan….
