Uber now lets you pay using debit card or net banking via Paytm Wallet in India

Uber entered India last year and is currently one of the popular cab services in India. Uber accepts only credit cards, which was one of the main concerns among the users in India who didn’t have credit cards. Today Uber has tied up with Paytm, one of the leading mobile commerce platforms to introduce payment through debit card, net banking or credit card using Paytm wallet.

Once you link your card or bank account via a Paytm wallet to your Uber account, you can top up your wallet using multiple payment options. Once the payment is added, your fare will be automatically debited from your e-wallet after the Uber ride. As usual you will get receipt with detailed fare breakdown and the trip route taken at the end of the ride.

Option for adding Paytm wallet is available on Android and iOS after the latest update. Here is the procedure to add money to your wallet.

• When you register with Uber, you’ll be prompted to add a payment profile. If you already have a Paytm wallet, you may link it to your Uber account.
• Click on ‘Payment’ to find your wallet. Then click on ‘Add Money’ (minimum recharge value is Rs. 100)
• Recharge your wallet whenever you want by using your credit card, debit card or your NetBanking account.

This new move is due to a new rule by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) that requires all online transactions to pass through domestic payment systems. If the customer has insufficient funds to pay their cab, the account goes into a negative balance and subsequently prompts them to top up and return their wallet to credit after the ride, said an Uber spokesperson TechCrunch.

UberX cheaper version of Uber now in India

Uber entered India last year and is currently available in six cities – New Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai and Pune. Uber has launched uberX, a low-cost Uber service cheaper than the UberBLACK in India. This service is currently available in Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad. The base fare is just Rs.40 or Rs. 50 depending on the city. Rate per minute and kilometer is also cheaper in uberX compared to UberBLACK.

uberX has mid-range cars such as Toyota Etios, Mahindra Verito, Maruti Swift Dzire, Nissan Sunny etc. Uber app also has an option that lets you split your fare when you travel with your friends, so it would be much cheaper. Check out the UberX rates in India.

UberX	Delhi (Rs.)	Bangalore (Rs.)	Hyderabad (Rs.)
Base Fare start with this fare	50	50	40
Per Kilometre distance covered	15	15	13
Per Minute time taken in minutes	2	1	1
Minimum Fare	150	125	100

Uber users in Bangalore can use the promo code IWANTuberX to get Rs. 500 off on their first uberX ride. You can use UberX in the same app that now has a new option to select UberBLACK or UberX. The new UberX service would compete with Olacabs, Meru Cabs and TaxiForSure.

Uber launching in Chennai soon, limited cars are available for trips already!

Uber which is one of my favorite services in USA for commuting is launching in the South Indian city of Chennai soon. The service is already available in Delhi  & Bangalore and the company has announced that it is rolling out the service in Chennai with a limited number of cars. I just opened the app and found that a black car would pick me up in around 10 mins in the city which is very good news for Chennai residents.

Update: The cars which will be initially available are Mercedes E-Class, Toyota Altis and BMW 5 Series .

Fares
Base fare  ₨ 50.00 + ₨ 2.00 per minute /₨ 15.00 Per kilometer. Minimum fare is Rs.100 and cancellation fee is Rs.100.

We are trying to find out from the company about the fares and also the types of cars which are going to be available. It will be interesting to see how call taxis and other players react to Uber in the city. The Chennai market is dominated by call taxis and private cabs.

The service is available on both Android and iOS and you can book a car right from your phone and you don’t have to pay the driver and everything is billed to your credit card directly.   I just pulled a quick fare quote from my home to the Airport and the app showed a very reasonable figure of Rs.272-350.

Update: Trips to the Airport are charged a flat fare of Rs.1200.

Who is looking forward to trying Uber in Chennai ?
