It is being said that the employees at the customer care counters of the stations tell that this card is no longer available, and even the passengers are being forcibly given the National Common Mobility Cards.

No recharge through vending machine

According to the passengers, this card cannot be recharged through the ticket vending machine, this card can be recharged only through Airtel Thanks app. It cannot be recharged even through UPI from any other app. The surprising thing is that there are no machines to validate the recharge of NCMC card.
