Making Bill Payments

What are the do’s & don’ts for making online payments?
Do’s

  1. Before committing the transaction, user should verify whether all the details and Pay mode are properly entered or not. For this a confirmation page is displayed and the transaction is committed only when user verifies the details and clicks the ‘Confirm’ button.
  2. Single click on the Submit button, wait for the processing to complete.
  3. It is always better to note the receipt number that is being generated at the end of the bill payment in the Receipt page.
  4. After generating the receipt,the user must verify the details printed in the receipt before printing the receipt.
  5. The user must also check before printing the receipt page that the printer is connected and that it is working properly.
  6. The user can pay only one bill amount at a time(one Transaction for one bill).
  7. The user can pay the bill only through Credit Card, Debit Card, Direct Debit and Demand Draft.

 

Don’ts

  1. The user must not provide his/her account information to anybody. This is very important because in case of verification of bill payments it will be hard to identify the transaction.
  2. In case of any error after doing the transaction, do not try to do any other transaction before knowing the actual cause of the error.
  3. Avoid using ‘Back’ button of browser.
