Expanded Frequently Asked Questions
Currently, redemptions are limited to Jio’s own services—JioPay, JioMart, JioCinema, JioSaavn, JioCloud, and Jio Messages. Third-party merchant integration is planned but not yet live.
Split your payment into two transactions (e.g., two ₹500 JioMart orders) to apply more coins. For one-off services, top up small bills to reach a multiple of the redemption threshold.
Reliance may adjust cap percentages or rates via in-app announcements. Always check Wallet → Settings → Redemption Rates for the latest terms before large redemptions.
No—redemptions incur no additional fees. Gas fees apply only when transferring JioCoins externally; in-app redemption is gas-free for users.
View Wallet → Transactions, which logs every redemption entry—date, service, coins used, and INR offset—allowing you to audit your savings over time.
