How to cancel Jio service

Steps to cancel Jio

1. Check whether the charge is a plan recharge, a postpaid bill item or a paid add-on (OTT pack, value-added service).
2. Open the operator's app and look under My Plan / Add-ons / Active services to see what is running.
3. Switch off or deactivate the add-on, or follow the operator's published steps for deactivation.
4. Ask for a written confirmation (SMS, email or ticket number) and save it.
5. If the charge was a UPI AutoPay mandate, also review the mandate in your UPI app.

These steps are generic guidance and are marked verify: Jio's screens and policies can change.
