UPPCL simplifies bill payment through mobile apps

Lucknow, Apr 3 (UNI) In a move to promote Digital India, the Uttar Pradesh government has introduced a simplified process for electricity bill payments via mobile applications, official sources said here on Thursday.
Sources said that under this initiative, UP Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) has streamlined the bill payment system, making it more user-friendly. "Consumers no longer need to select their respective DISCOMs for bill payments, instead, they can simply choose UPPCL along with their district name while making transactions," they said.
Sources said that the new process applies to popular digital payment platforms such as BHIM UPI, Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm and Amazon Pay. "After selecting UPPCL and their district, consumers only need to enter their account number to complete the payment efficiently," they said.
