| How To Borrow Money On Airtel |
Option 1: The Quick Fix - Airtel Extra Credit (Because Who Has Time for Fancy Names?)
This is your go-to option when you need a small amount of airtime to stay connected, like calling your mom to explain why you need to borrow money...again (we've all been there too, Mom!). Here's the lowdown:
QuickTip: Read again with fresh eyes.
- How much can I borrow? You can borrow anywhere from ₹25 to ₹200. Enough for a quick chat, but not quite enough to become a telemarketer.
- How do I do it? Dial the magic number *500# and choose your poison (er, I mean, your desired amount).
- The catch? There's a 15% service charge, which is basically like the universe's way of saying, "Hey, thanks for borrowing, but you'll owe me a favor next time."
Pro tip: If you're a regular borrower (no judgment!), consider recharging a little extra every now and then to avoid the service charge. It's like building up good credit...with the universe.
QuickTip: Read section by section for better flow.
Option 2: The Big Guns - Airtel Flexi Credit (For Emergencies and "Oops, I Forgot to Pay Rent" Moments)
This option is for when you need a larger sum to, well, maybe avoid explaining to your landlord why you forgot to pay rent (again, not judging, just saying).
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.

- How much can I borrow? You can borrow anywhere from ₹8,000 to ₹9,00,000. Now that's what I call real help!
- How do I do it? Download the Airtel Thanks app and navigate to the financial services section. Apply for the loan, and if approved, the money gets disbursed instantly. It's like a financial fairy godmother, but without the pumpkin carriage.
- The catch? This one comes with interest rates and repayment terms, so make sure you read the fine print before you borrow. It's not like borrowing a cup of sugar from your neighbor.
Pro tip: Only borrow what you can comfortably repay. Remember, responsible borrowing is key to avoiding future financial woes (and potentially angry landlords).
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.
Remember: Borrowing money should always be a last resort. It's important to manage your finances responsibly and avoid falling into a debt trap. But hey, if you find yourself in a pinch, at least you know Airtel has your back (with a few conditions, of course). Now go forth and call, text, or maybe even pay your rent (just a suggestion)!
