content：Tired of Unexpected Auto Debits from PhonePe?

Tired of unexpected money deductions from your PhonePe account every month? If you’ve subscribed to services like Jio Saavn, Hotstar, or Amazon Prime, chances are PhonePe Auto Pay is active, causing these auto debits. After analyzing this video, I’ll walk you through exactly how to turn off these auto payments and regain control of your finances. This guide uses the video’s practical steps and adds extra tips to ensure you don’t miss anything.

content：Why PhonePe Auto Pay Activates & How It Works

PhonePe Auto Pay activates when you sign up for recurring subscriptions (like streaming or utility services). The video cites common examples—Jio Saavn, Hotstar, Amazon Prime—where users often unknowingly enable auto pay. This feature deducts funds automatically at regular intervals (monthly, quarterly, etc.), which can lead to unwanted charges if you forget to cancel a subscription. PhonePe’s official help center confirms that auto pay is designed for convenience but requires active management to avoid surprises.

Follow these steps to disable auto pay safely and permanently:

Step 1: Open the PhonePe App

Launch the PhonePe app on your mobile device. Ensure you’re logged into your account with the correct credentials.

Step 2: Navigate to Profile & Manage Payments

Tap on your profile icon (usually at the top left corner). From the dropdown menu, select Manage Payments—this section houses all your payment-related settings.

Step3: Access the Auto Pay Section

In the Manage Payments menu, find and tap the Auto Pay option. This will display all active auto debits linked to your PhonePe account.

Step4: Pause the Active Auto Debit

For each active auto debit you want to stop, tap on it. You’ll see an option to Pause Auto Pay. Select this—you’ll need to enter your UPI pin for confirmation. Don’t panic: This pin entry is only for verification, no money is deducted here.

Step5: Delete the Paused Auto Pay

Once paused, you’ll see a Delete Auto Pay option. Tap it, enter your UPI pin again, and confirm. This permanently removes the auto debit, so no future deductions will occur. Remember: You can’t delete an active auto pay directly—pausing first is mandatory (as the video clearly demonstrates).
