The partnership is intended to help individuals, small businesses to earn an additional income through Prepaid recharge.
Telecom company Vodafone Idea has launched a special scheme “Recharge Partner” keeping in mind the lockdown. The company has partnered with the payment app Paytm for this scheme. Under this partnership, consumers will now be able to earn up to Rs 5,000 every month by recharging the mobile number through Paytm. So let’s know about this scheme of Vodafone-Idea and Paytm.
What is the recharge partner program
The program will enable any Paytm customers (following a registration) to start selling Vodafone and Idea recharges on the Paytm app, the company said in a statement. They can start selling mobile recharges by downloading and registering on the Paytm app. Vodafone Idea will also give an assured cashback to merchant partners for multiple recharges.
Individuals and small businesses, such as pharmacists, milk booth operators, newspaper vendors, and individuals would be able to earn up to ₹5,000 every month under the program.
“We believe that this partnership with Paytm will help a large number of our prepaid customers who are digitally unengaged to remain connected without having to step out to recharge. This partnership will enable digitally connected individuals and small businesses to sell recharges and earn a livelihood,” Avneesh Khosla, Marketing Director, Vodafone Idea said.
Joining hands with Paytm will definitely help the operator as Paytm is serving more than 350 million users in the country, and it is known for paying bills and mobile recharging facilities. The announcement comes after Paytm revamped its application so that its users can use the app carefully for paying their bills and recharging their mobile numbers. This means that Vodafone Idea is looking at new ways to increase its revenue during the lockdown and to cater to the needs of mass audiences.
MHA Allows Phone Recharge Shops To Operate
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has allowed prepaid recharge shops to operate during the lockdown. The ministry has written a letter to all states and said that recharge shops can operate by maintaining social distance. The development comes as that time when all private telecom players have already extended the validity of prepaid plans until May 3. In addition, the operators are offering free talk time of Rs. 10 to their feature phone users, while Centre’s public-sector companies such as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited has extended the validity of prepaid plans until May 5.
