### 2/5 — Missing feature

*2026-06-02*

There's no option of update balance how does the balance reflect on the card wallet

**Developer response:** Dear Vincefern,
We understand your concern regarding the balance update on the card wallet. Currently, the “Update Balance” feature is not available on iOS devices.
However, you can use an AVM machine at the nearest metro station to update the balance. We have also shared your feedback with the concerned team for consideration in future updates.

### 1/5 — Total scam

*2026-05-10*

Loaded the card with balance but when tried to update it using EVM it is not updating and the person at metro station is also not able to update the balance.
It’s total scam, my biggest mistake was I purchased the card without reading reviews.
Total scam don’t fall for this scam guys.
The developer should look into this.
I am not getting any refund.

**Developer response:** Dear Vikas, We’re sorry for the inconvenience you’ve experienced. To assist you further, please share your contact details with us at support@bharatyatracard.com or connect with us at 080-64534442. We’ll be happy to help you. Regards, Pine Labs Prepaid Support

### 1/5 — Update balance is not working on IOS

*2026-05-07*

Update Balance is not present on IOS yet. I don’t see the point of visiting avm when the whole point of the card is contactless. Please look into this. Buying this card doesn’t make any sense otherwise.

**Developer response:** Dear Poorvika Devang, Thank you for sharing your suggestion. We appreciate your interest in having NFC Top‑up on iOS similar to Android. While this feature is currently not available on iOS, we’ve shared your feedback with our concern team for consideration in future updates. Regards, Pine Labs Prepaid Support.

### 1/5 — You are wasting money in this

*2026-04-10*

I top up this card with 1800 rs amount but it’s been 5 days now and after multiple follow-ups the issue is not resolved yet also the customer service is really poor.
One major issue which I faced is the online balance and the offline balance has a huge diffrence everytime which causes to recharge the card as per prefered amount. 
Pathetic service seriously.

**Developer response:** Dear Ujjawal Dubey, We have fixed the issue and the mismatch amount is now successfully updated online. Please visit the nearest metro station to freshly update the balance, which is already available online. Once updated, you will be able to use the card seamlessly.
In case you face any further issues, please let us know—we will be happy to assist you.. Regards, Pine Labs Prepaid Support

### 1/5 — It keeps on asking for network connection

*2026-02-17*

I’m not sure how this made it past review. The app fails to authenticate or log in, citing "network issues" that don't exist. I’ve tested on both high-speed WiFi and 5G, yet the app remains stuck. Major QA oversight here.

**Developer response:** Dear Manevbali, Your experience matters to us, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Please share your contact details at support@bharatyatracard.com or call us at 080-64534442. Our team will be glad to assist you Regards, Pine Labs Prepaid Support

### 1/5 — Can’t make payments via app

*2026-02-16*

So I got this card recently and installed the app and tried to load ₹100 onto the card via the phone app. The app only has UPI payments as an option, but no upi payment portal options pop up when I press ‘make payment’.  The app just says that I have to choose a upi option,but there are no options available…
Seeing how many people seem to be facing issues with the card balance not updating or card being unuseable on metros and buses, I think I’m going to give this a skip until it’s more functional, which will probably take a year or longer. 
Eroica, a beautiful dream that couldn’t find fulfilment.

**Developer response:** Dear User, We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. We request you to kindly use Google Pay to try recharging again, either within the Bharat Yatra app or by scanning the QR code available on your card or please share your contact details at support@bharatyatracard.com or call us at 080-64534442. Our team will be glad to assist you. Regards, Pine Labs Prepaid Support

### 1/5 — Balance shows in app but card doesn’t work

*2026-02-12*

I added ₹100 to my NCMC RuPay On-The-Go card using UPI. The amount was successfully debited, and the updated balance is clearly visible in the app.

However, when I went to the metro station and tapped the card on the terminal to complete the top-up/update process, the system simply did not update the balance on the card. The terminal froze and the amount never reflected on the actual card, making it unusable for travel.

The staff at the station also said something seemed wrong with the system. I contacted customer support, but instead of resolving the issue, they kept asking routine questions without offering a real solution. When I requested a refund for the failed update, it was refused.

If the app shows the balance but the card cannot actually be used in the metro, the whole purpose is defeated. This is unreliable and frustrating, especially for something meant for daily transit use.

**Developer response:** Dear User, Your experience matters to us, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Please share your contact details at support@bharatyatracard.com or call us at 080-64534442. Our team will be glad to assist you Regards, Pine Labs Prepaid Support
