One place for many bills

The Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS) is an interoperable bill payment system. It allows customers to pay bills from many different billers through a single, consistent process.

Common bill categories

Available billers vary, but common categories include:

  • Electricity, water and gas
  • Broadband and landline
  • DTH and mobile postpaid

What customers get

Customers receive confirmation when their payment is made, which gives them confidence that the bill has been paid.

Why it helps retailers

Bill payment is a regular, monthly need. Offering it at your counter gives customers a reason to visit often — and to buy other things while they are there.
