Missing feature

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

Response from developer

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.

Total scam

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.

Update balance is not working on IOS

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.

Response from developer

You are wasting money in this

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.

It keeps on asking for network connection

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.

Can’t make payments via app

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.

Our team will be glad to assist you. Regards, Pine Labs Prepaid Support

Balance shows in app but card doesn’t work

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.

Great product

Very convenient to use, ordered from Blinkit and got it in minutes. Recharging from the app is also easy, and it’s a nice feeling when you tap in and tap out at the Metro Station while everybody else’s queuing up.

Response from developer

Dear Ashishvirmani, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re glad to hear that you found the card convenient to use and that the Blinkit delivery and in-app recharge experience met your expectations. It’s great to know you’re enjoying the seamless tap‑in and tap‑out experience at Metro stations—skipping queues is definitely a win! We appreciate your support and look forward to making your travel experience even smoother.

Balance & Refund

I’ve been facing repeated issues with the Bharat Yatra Card. Whenever I make an online payment, the balance does not update automatically. Every time, I have to manually hand over the card to a technician to get the balance updated. I even tried using the kiosk, but that doesn’t work either. Recently, I made a payment through PhonePe - the transaction was successful, but the amount never got credited to my card. This makes the card very inconvenient to use. Please fix the balance update process so that online transactions reflect correctly

Extremely Poor App UI & No-Real Time Refresh

The app doesn’t refresh previous transactions (for eg. metro transactions) real-time wherein keen to share the screenshots/screen recordings to proof the same.

Additionally unlike a normal DMRC card, this particular card’s balance can only be refreshed from Customer Care Counter which wastes additional time wherein a DMRC card gets refreshed by normal balance checks counters placed in metros.

I trust Pine Labs fixes these basic issues rather than marketing it everywhere with posts from CXOs of Blinkit & Zepto who are selling this and hampering their own goidwill.

Works well on metros, however BUS

This works excellent on Metro Transits. However, I have one concern. Does it work on BMTC buses? Since they do use Pine labs tools. The conductors need to be made aware about this card and that we can pay with it. I understand this is government backed so it should be possible. If it’s not supported on bus networks, please do let me know.

Payment options

It has only two payment options like phone pay and Google Pay so if you don't use any of these, you can't recharge the card.. Dear team, are you serious? This feels like a 1st-grade classroom. Not worth the service and putting 50rs and personal data on this card. Very poor.

Unable to receive otp and login in the mobile application

Ordered the card from blinkit but after receiving and doing the registration process, the mobile application does not works and thus is useless, wasted my ₹50 on this. Looks like a complete scam.

While the app shows balance as 400+ rupees , the card balance is less than 10 rupees.
No easy way to correct this. Maximum amount to recharge is 2000

Balance not updating

Hi I recently started using this app in Mumbai. But I am not able to see the transactions. The only thing I can see is the amount added.

Hence the main problem the user face is not resolved
The balance should automatically update whenever I tap. Also a notification sms should be there

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. Our team is working to improve the app experience, including real-time balance updates and better visibility of transactions. We’ve also noted your suggestion regarding SMS notifications and will consider it for future enhancements.
