It was never easy to purchase Google Play Store apps. But with the aid of Paytm and Freechrge, you can easily make payments for Google Play premium apps and games.

Are you having an Android device, but unable to purchase and download paid or premium apps and games from the most popular Android market. Yes, a lot of Indians use debit cards, which in most of the cases are not accepted by Google Play as a payment method for making purchases. If you are using credit cards, you will not face any problems though.

 

To eradicate the problem to some extent, Google introduced Google Play Gift cards in India back in 2015, which were sold in various stores such as Spice Hotspot, Sangeetha, Vijay Sales and a number of popular online portals like Amazon, Snapdeal, etc. But they were available only in denominations of INR 750, INR 1000 and INR 1500. Thus, if you like a INR 50 app or game on Google Play, you can purchase that, only by investing a minimum of INR 750, by purchasing the gift card, as it is the minimum denomination available.

 

Though, now additional payment methods are available in India for Google Play purchases, which include payment using career biling, presently available only for Airtel, Vodafone and Idea postpaid users, but that is not streamlined yet. You can use net banking of popular Indian banks like SBI, IDBI, ICICI, etc. but very few people use net banking.

 

But, Paytm and Freecharge are services, which people use extensively, for mobile recharges, DTH recharges, paying utility bills, metro smart card recharge and many more. Now you can even get Google Play gift cards through Paytm and Freecharge, and the best part is, the minimum denomination is INR 100, which can make the gift card purchases, much flexible compared to that of purchasing gift cards from shops.

 

The steps are quite simple:

 

1. Go to https://www.freecharge.in/desktop/recharge/GooglePlayRechargeCode for Freecharge and https://paytm.com/google-play-gift-card-recharge for Paytm, or you can find the option by visiting the websites.

2. Add the mobile number, where you want to send the coupon number, or you can use your own mobile number, if you are purchasing it for your own.

3. Add the amount, which you want, the minimum is INR 100, with a maximum of INR 1500.

4. Use Freecharge or Paytm wallet, or you can use any other payment method, as almost all kind of payment methods are accepted by both Freecharge and Paytm.

5. After proper payment, the coupon code will be sent to the desired mobile number, and it is also shown to you.

6. Use the coupon code by visiting https://play.google.com/store/apps?hl=en and clicking or “Redeem”, or you can do the same from the Play Store app on your device.
