I want to know whether is it safe to recharge from sites like paytm.com and mainly uninor.in (in the address bar https is red striked) with Debit Card ?

Been using paytm from 2012 for over 2 years and haven't been to a retailer even once for any kind of recharge. I do recharge for all 4-5 phones (mine & family) & tata sky etc from past 2+ years only through paytm and haven't faced a single issue ever. I am scared to go to a retailer instead these days .

So that's around 40000-50000 worth of recharge through paytm. Imo it's the safest option in terms of recharge online.

Have been using Paytm since 2012, Mobikwik since this year and very recently got Freecharge as well. Safe, no troubles, if any issue arises customer support is very helpful. Lots of cashback and other promos.
