This new smart card will be available to customers through the 'AutoPay' app which has been developed specifically for this purpose.

Anuj Dayal, executive director of corporate communication of DMRC, told here on Wednesday that the smart card issued by 'AutoPay' will have an auto top-up facility whenever the card price is less than Rs 100, then the card at the Automatic Fare Collection entry gate An amount of Rs. 200 will be automatically credited. Autopay will cause top-up value customers' linked card or auto-debit from the bank on the next working day.

Mr. Dayal said that to avail the services of 'Autopay' smart card, the user has to download the 'Autopay' app (available for Android users on the Google Play Store and Apple Store iPhone users) or register themselves on the Autopay mobile site and Bank / Credit Card / UPI account has to be linked to the card which is a one time process. The customer will be charged a nominal facility fee (maximum one percent) for each transaction.
