Add or remove a RuPay credit card on Google Pay

When you first set up Google Pay, you’ll be asked to add a payment method. Payments made with RuPay credit cards are enabled for online and QR scan transactions with merchants.

Checklist for addition of RuPay credit card

Before you add a RuPay card on Google Pay, here are a few things you should check:

  • Make sure that your RuPay credit card is activated for UPI services. For this, your bank should support adding RuPay credit cards to UPI platforms. Contact your bank for details.
  • Make sure that you have outgoing SMS services turned on to verify the addition of your card. Some prepaid recharge packs don't have outgoing SMS enabled, so you may need to get in touch with your operator.

    To check your balance with different operators:

    • Jio - 333#
    • BSNL - *123*1#
    • Airtel - *121*7#
    • MTNL - *123#
    • Tata - *111#
    • VI - *199*1*8#

    Tip: To test if this works, send an outgoing SMS to a friend or family member.

  • Make sure your SIM belongs to the same mobile number linked to your RuPay credit card.
  • To send a verification SMS, give permission to Google Pay. Standard SMS charges apply.
    • For single-SIM devices, ensure that your “active” SIM card belongs to the same mobile number linked to your RuPay credit card.
    • For dual-SIM devices, check your outgoing SMS settings. If your SMS is set to “Ask every time” for which SIM card the SMS should be sent from, you need to change this setting: Tap Settings and then SIM cards and then Dual SIM settings.
