Bill Payment
1. Service Overview
We provide a platform to access the Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS) through our integration with Bharat Connect, a BBPS-approved operating unit. Users can view bill categories, select billers, fetch bills (if supported), and make real-time payments.
2. Bill Categories
Available bill payment categories include, but are not limited to:
- Postpaid Mobile
- Fastag Recharge
- Water Bill
- Electricity Bill
- Gas (PNG/LPG)
- Broadband/Landline
- Loan EMI
- Insurance
- Subscription Services
Categories and billers are dynamically updated based on listings from Bharat Connect and BBPS.
3. Biller Listing & Input Requirements
After selecting a category, the platform fetches the latest list of billers under that category. Each biller may have specific input fields (such as mobile number, account number, consumer ID, etc.) that must be filled by the user. Inputs and field descriptions are provided as per data updated by the biller through Bharat Connect.
4. Payment Flow
Based on the biller configuration, the user may either:
- Fetch the bill amount (if supported) before payment, or
- Make a direct payment by entering the desired amount.
The platform processes all transactions in real-time via Bharat Connect APIs.
5. Transaction Status
Transaction status (Success, Failure, Pending) is updated based on the real-time response from the biller or Bharat Connect. In some cases, transactions may remain pending due to delays on the biller’s side. The final status is updated once confirmation is received.
6. Charges and Fees (Updated)
There are no hidden charges imposed by our platform. Any applicable convenience fee, payment gateway charge, or surcharge will be:
- Displayed transparently before the transaction confirmation screen.
- May vary depending on the selected payment method (e.g., UPI, debit card, credit card, net banking).
- May also vary based on the selected bank or payment provider.
These charges are set by the biller, Bharat Connect, or the integrated payment gateway—not by us.
7. Refund & Failed Transactions
In case of failed or pending transactions:
- The amount is either auto-refunded or adjusted upon final status confirmation.
- Refunds (if applicable) will be initiated as per BBPS/Bharat Connect guidelines.
8. Complaint & Dispute Handling
If a user has issues with a transaction or service, they can:
- Raise a complaint directly with Bharat Connect using the official complaint form or support system.
- Track the complaint status through our website using the transaction ID or complaint ID.
We also provide a complaint tracking facility within our platform for user convenience.
9. User Responsibility
The user must ensure:
- Correct selection of category and biller.
- Accurate entry of biller input fields (account number, mobile number, etc.).
We are not liable for payments made to the wrong biller or account due to user error.
10. Data Sharing & Privacy
Your data (including mobile number, account ID, and payment details) is shared only with authorized systems of Bharat Connect and BBPS in encrypted form for transaction processing. No personal data is stored or shared with any unauthorized third party.
11. Platform Liability
We act only as a technology service provider integrating with Bharat Connect. We are not liable for:
- Delays or failures caused by the biller or Bharat Connect.
- Discrepancies in bill amounts or incorrect bill information from the biller.
- Any service interruptions outside our control.
12. Modifications
The platform reserves the right to modify these terms and the BBPS interface at any time without prior notice. Continued use of the BBPS service after updates implies acceptance of the revised terms.
13. Governing Law & Jurisdiction
All disputes related to BBPS payments are governed by applicable Indian laws and BBPS regulatory guidelines. The jurisdiction for legal matters, if any, will be the city where our company is legally registered.
