Tata Power has become the first power utility to introduce QR code service for bill payments in Mumbai. The QR code linked to Unified Payments Interface (UPI) will be printed on the electricity bills. Customers can scan the QR code with BHIM app or any other UPI linked bank apps and pay their bills without any hassle.
The bill details will be displayed on the app, post which the customer can authorize the payment within a few seconds and his bill will be paid instantaneously with a real time update of the payment in his consumer account. Though this functionality of bill payments through a QR code has been introduced in other service industries, it will be launched in the power industry for the first time in India by the company.
Tata Power is India’s largest integrated power company with a growing international presence. The company together with its subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities has presence in all the segments of the power sector viz. Fuel Security and Logistics, Generation (thermal, hydro, solar and wind), Transmission, Distribution and Trading.
