MSRTC Enables NCMC Card Recharge via BHIM App QR Code from September 2026
The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) has introduced a new facility allowing passengers to recharge their NCMC cards digitally via the BHIM app by scanning a QR code on the card's back. Available since September 15, 2026, this service enables users, including senior citizens and women eligible for concessions, to add money without visiting recharge centres. The move aims to simplify the recharge process and promote digital payments for MSRTC passengers.
