How To Check and Pay your Electricity Bill Through the UPI Apps

By Chandrakant Mishra | Published On September 10, 2019

UPI (Unified Payment Interface) is an instant payment system through which we transfer money as well as pay the utility bills. In this post, I would tell you the way to pay the electricity bill through the 5 most popular apps. These are Google Pay, Paytm, Phonepe, BHIM and SBI Pay

Electricity Bill Through the UPI Apps

Requirements to Pay Electricity Bill

To check and pay the electricity bill, you must fulfill some requirements.

  1. Consumer number- The electricity distribution company provides the consumer number to each of its customers. You can find it from your physical electricity bill.
  2. UPI App- You must have installed a UPI app such as Google Pay, BHIM APP, Paytm, Mobikwik, PhonePe, Airtel Payments Bank, SBI Pay etc.
  3. UPI PIN- To pay money through the UPI apps, you should have a UPI PIN. This PIN is key to your linked bank account. Without this PIN you would not be able to pay from your bank account.
  4. Balance in account- And the last but not least, you must have the balance in your bank account linked with the UPI APP.
