Let's face it, we've all been there. You reach for your phone, ready to call your bestie, only to discover your airtime balance is drier than a desert after a sandstorm. Panic sets in. How are you supposed to coordinate that crucial pizza delivery or (gasp) actually talk to a real human being?
Fear not, dear reader, for Airtel comes to the rescue (cue dramatic music)! They offer a handy little service called Airtel Extra Credit, basically your friendly neighborhood loan shark, but without the shady characters and questionable business practices (hopefully).
Tip: Read the whole thing before forming an opinion.

| How To Borrow Money From Airtel Line |
But First, Things to Consider (Before You Go Borrowing Like a Millionaire)
- Are you eligible? Not everyone gets to play this game. Check your eligibility by dialing *500# on your Airtel line. If you're chosen, you'll see a menu with different loan amounts.
- Remember, it's a loan, not free money. You'll need to pay it back on your next recharge, with a service charge. Think of it as a small convenience fee for saving you from social media withdrawal.
- Borrow responsibly. Don't go overboard just because you can finally call your mom and complain about your lack of funds.
Okay, I'm Eligible and Responsible. How Do I Borrow?
Here's where things get exciting (well, as exciting as borrowing money can be). You have two options:
Tip: Absorb, don’t just glance.
Option 1: Dial the Magic Code
Tip: Summarize each section in your own words.

- Grab your phone and dial *500#. This will open a menu showing you the available loan amounts.
- Choose your poison (err, I mean, loan amount) by dialing the corresponding code. For example, to borrow ₹20, dial 50020#.
- Voila! You'll receive a confirmation message and the borrowed amount will be credited to your main balance.
Option 2: Play it Safe with the Airtel Thanks App
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
- Download the Airtel Thanks App if you haven't already (it's like having a mini Airtel store in your pocket, minus the questionable air freshener scent).
- Open the app and navigate to the financial services section.
- Look for Airtel Extra Credit and follow the on-screen instructions.
Remember: No matter which method you choose, pay back the loan on your next recharge to avoid any additional charges or, worse, getting your number blocked (yikes!).
So there you have it! Now you can go forth and conquer the world (or at least order that pizza) without the fear of an empty airtime balance. Just remember, borrow responsibly, my friends!
