When the Digital India movement was started by the GOI somewhere in this decade, the purpose was to move from a paper-centric environment to a paperless working. Cash has been an integral part of our lives. Ask your fathers and grandfathers and you will realize the significance the cash-form of the fiat currency had back in those days. Move to the millennial generation of today – most of them would hardly have any cash or loose changes in their wallet – for they are all empowered with their mobile phones, mobile wallets and technology. While their wallets and purses would still have a single or more credit and debit cards, it is not long before the smartphone and the e-wallet will take over completely.
One of the biggest benefits of the electronic medium has been the facility to make online payments. Be it your regular recharge of your mobile SIM card or the bill payment of electricity and water bills, smart technology has enabled an easy and simple life for all of us. Making PSPCL payments online is one of the far-reaching advantages of the smart device and internet that more and more people in the northern state of Punjab in India are able to savour today.
PSPCL website and reseller Apps making things simpler
In order to make their electricity bill payments for the month, the consumers of PSPCL or Punjab State Power Corporation Ltd. can use the official website of the state power board or use the services of a payment aggregator – a third-party entity that is associated with the state board for collection of online payments. Some of the leading aggregators online today in the country are Paytm, MobiKwik and PhonePe. It is important to go along with only the credible third party players in the market for the online medium, even if it is safer than manual and other automated processes, does have loopholes and the consumers’ money can easily get caught in online hacks if the consumer uses websites and Apps that are not too trustworthy and dependable.
The good thing about online aggregators is that they offer multiple payment facilities that could range from a PSPCL electricity payment to online hotel and air ticket bookings – you would need to visit the individual site and App of each of the leading third party vendor to verify the services being offered by them before downloading their Apps and registering as a customer.
The other distinct advantage of linking up with a payment aggregator is the advantage of getting the electronic wallet service as the top resellers today in the country offer their customers the wallet in the virtual world that can be safely used for making online and offline payments. In order to make your bill payment for PSPCL bills, simply open the App on your handset; your consumer ID would already be there as the App is personalized for your handset – however if you using it for the first time you will have to enter the ID; fill in the amount and then chose a suitable payment option to complete the payment process.
