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.
Sources said that earlier, consumers had to select their DISCOM while paying electricity bills, which often led to mistakes. "Entering the wrong DISCOM caused payment issues. To solve this problem, UPPCL has made changes to the process." they said.
Sources said that this feature was already available on UPPCL's official website, but now it has been extended to various mobile apps as well. "Currently, both the old and new payment methods are available so that consumers can gradually adapt to the new system," they said.
Sources said that the UPPCL has announced that from next month, only the new system will be valid. "This change aims to make bill payments easier and more convenient for consumers," they said.
