Most of my friends ask me “How I recharge my mobile online”. Basically most of us want to our recharge our mobile through Internet because we don’t have to walk down to mobile recharge store i.e. doing online recharge not only saves our time but also our energy. But in the end we are scared to use our ATM/ Debit card / Credit card online because it will get hacked and our money will be stolen by some Hacker. So, in the end we think in spite of losing our hard work money whats the problem in walking down the recharge store. There’s no problem in recharging your mobile through shop but if we think like if we use our debit card we will be hacked it will be like if we go out of House we’ll have an accident.
Article updated on Nov,19 2o16. As RBI has directed all the banks to switch from 3D secure code form of transaction to OTP based transaction for the approval of online transaction.
So, in this post I’m going to show you “How to recharge your mobile safely online “. There are numerous of recharge portal on the Internet through which you can recharge your mobile like
- Paytm.com
- freerecharge.in
- rechargeitnow.com
- mobikwik.com and many more
You can also recharge online by going to your respective mobile operator website. So, to explain How to recharge your mobile online I am going to use Paytm as my online recharging portal.

Step 4 : Enter your Mobile Number in which you want to recharge your number. After you have entered your number it will automatically fetch mobile operator name if it is wrong correct it.
Step 5 : Enter the Recharge amount
Step 5 : Enter the Recharge amount

Step 6 : Click on proceed.
Step 7 : A new page will open from which you will be given the option to choose paid or free coupons which you can use it to avail the offer given in the coupon in their respective stores. Do note that if you select paid coupon you will be charged for that coupon.

Step 7 : A new page will open from which you will be given the option to choose paid or free coupons which you can use it to avail the offer given in the coupon in their respective stores. Do note that if you select paid coupon you will be charged for that coupon.
Step 8 : Select coupon or Do not select coupon it depends upon your wish.

Step 9 : Click on proceed to pay
Step 10 : You will be given various option through which you can pay the recharge amount
- Debit card [ For Indians it is the Same ATM card you use to withdrawal money from ATM Machine]
- Credit Card
- Net Banking
- ATM card
- IMPS
I believe not everybody has not started internet banking with their bank. If you have you can use the Internet banking option in Paytm.
Well most of like us who don’t have started Internet Banking feature with their Bank can use their ATM Card details to pay the recharge amount.
Like in the debit card option you will be asked to “Enter card No.” enter 16-digit number in the field which is given in your card.
Then it will ask to Enter Name enter the name as given in your card
In the Card Expiry Month and year field enter your card expiry detail
It will ask CVV No. which is given on the back of your debit-card Enter the last 3-Digit in there
Step 11 : Click on proceed Safely.

Step 12 : After that you will be taken to your Bank website in which you have enter OTP [One time password] which is sent to your registered mobile number in your bank account.
Step 13 : After that you have clicked on submit you will be taken to paytm site for the confirmation of recharge.
The above transaction was made using State Bank of India Debit card. In this the SBI site only asks for the OTP code that was sent to your registered mobile number with your SBI bank account to authorize the transaction for online recharge payment it is the same for other shopping portal. If you are using other bank ATM/ Debit card the procedure is same for all of them.
However, we found that making transaction with Punjab National Bank Debit Card. It asks us to enter the Card Expiry date and also ATM pin. I guess PNB does so for adding another security layer to know that it is you who is making the transaction online. After that you are to confirm the mobile number in which the OTP will be sent in your registered PNB mobile number. Then you are directed to a page where you can enter the OTP and make the transaction. In using PNB debit card we have to do two more step before we can reach the page where we enter the OTP and authorize the transaction.We have added the screenshot of using PNB debit card transaction step by step below.

Step : 1 – PNB asks you enter the debit card expiry date and atm pin. It is completely safe to enter your atm pin here as it the bank who is asking you to do so.

Step : 2 – For additional security purpose, for the transaction to complete OTP will be sent to your registered mobile number. You can see the mobile number last digits to confirm in which mobile number OTP will be sent.

Step : 3 – Here like using SBI debit card to make the transaction successful you need to enter the otp received in your mobile number to make the online recharge of your payment successful. After this you will be redirect to paytm site for your successful transaction online receipt.
Note: Some Bank will use the shortcut method of directly sending OTP to your registered mobile number like SBI.While, some bank will use PNB debit card approach to ask for your debit card expiry month & year and ATM pin . After then you will be eligible to enter to make the online transaction a success.
If i forgot the secure code in paytm ,then what should i do.
Contact your respective bank for that.

Hum 3d code kaise use kar skte h
If i have done recharge from my no. And i have lost that no.so how can i add 3d code plz rpky fst
Now you don’t need to create 3d secure code because of rbi guidelines. If you do online transaction using debit / atm card an otp will be send to your mobile. if you have lost the number in which the otp is sent then you can change your mobile number by visiting the bank branch or you can also change the primary number visiting atm too.
