There is no restriction on the number of times this transfer can be made. Besides transferring of eCash, one can also convert their eCash expiring within 7 days into shopping coupons from over 20 brand partners which Yatra has tied up with. These include brands such as Big Basket, Jabong, Urban Ladder, Croma and many more. Currently, on an average over 1000 customers daily are availing of vouchers in exchange for their expiring eCash.
