About Airtel Payments Bank
Airtel Payments Bank is the bank built on the telecom network, reached through its app, UPI, FASTag and a very large number of neighbourhood banking points where cash is handled over the counter.
Those parts fail separately. The app can be stuck while a banking point two streets away is doing deposits normally.
It also issues FASTag, so toll recharge problems land here alongside account ones.

Questions
Check the reports on this page. The app, UPI, FASTag and the banking point down the road are separate things. One failing does not mean the rest are out. A technical issue at the bank itself shows up as dozens of reports from different cities within minutes.
Most trouble here falls into three buckets: the app will not log in, a UPI payment fails, or a FASTag recharge does not go through. Each has its own cause, so start with the one you are actually hitting.
Yes. Airtel Payments Bank returns a failed debit on its own, and for UPI and IMPS the outer limit RBI sets is T+1, one working day. Keep the reference and call 1800 23400 if the money has not come back by then.
1800 23400 is the toll-free hotline and runs round the clock. Saying Hi on WhatsApp to 8800688006 also works, and a banking point can raise the complaint for you.
App update karke dobara login karein aur network badal kar dekhein. Nazdeeki banking point par bhi kaam ho jata hai. Agar tab bhi kaam na bane to 1800 23400 par call karke batayein.
