MobiKwik ties up with Tamil Nadu Electricity Board for online bill payments

Chennai: MobiKwik announced a partnership with the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) through which subscribers can pay their utility bills digitally using the MobiKwik wallet. This partnership will benefit 280 lakh subscribers of the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB), the company said.

Bipin Preet Singh, founder and CEO of MobiKwik, said: “With the the Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS) going live, residents of Tamil Nadu can now pay their electricity bills with a single tap on their smartphones. Our efforts to digitise utility payments in Tamil Nadu are being acknowledged and we are receiving a positive response.”

The BBPS is a tiered structure for operating bill payments in India.


This is MobiKwik’s latest tie-up following its partnerships with BSNL, Bajaj Finserv Ltd and IndusInd Bank in 2017.

The BBPS allows transactions worth $1 million every day. According to a KPMG report, Rs 2.69 crore was transacted through 19.21 million transactions in December 2017, up 46% from April 2017, when the pilot was launched.

“BBPS is significant in enabling a digital India and will facilitate a cashless society through migration of bill payments from cash to digital channel,” Singh added.
