Amazon Pay has introduced a new service called ‘cash load at doorstep,’ allowing users to deposit Rs. 2000 notes in exchange for Amazon Pay balance. This service addresses the phasing out of Rs. 2,000 notes by the Reserve Bank of India as part of its ‘Clean Note Policy’ by September 30, 2023. To deposit Rs. 2,000 notes into your Amazon Pay balance, follow these steps:
- Complete the video KYC process on the Amazon app, which usually takes around 5-10 minutes.
- Place a cash-on-delivery order through Amazon.
- When the Amazon delivery agent arrives, hand over your ₹2,000 notes to them.
- Shortly after, the deposited amount will reflect in your Amazon Pay account balance.
- Within a minute, create a UPI handle on your Amazon Pay balance to start making payments effortlessly.
By depositing your ₹2,000 notes into your Amazon Pay balance, you gain the convenience of scanning and paying using QR codes at various shops, sending money to individuals or phone numbers, and making payments on online apps. This service provides a solution for stores that may refuse to accept Rs. 2,000 notes, enabling you to utilize these notes through your Amazon Pay balance.
Vikas Bansal, Whole-time Director, Amazon Pay India, said,”Staying true to our mission, we will continue to provide holistic experiences to our customers by facilitating such simplified solutions and further catalyse the digital payments revolution in India.”
