We are almost living in a virtual world these days. Most of our work today happens in the digital world. Be it shopping, watching a movie, playing games, or ordering food – so much of our daily life activities are critically dependent on the virtual world.
Electric consumption in India
India is the third-largest consumer of electricity. It is the third-largest producer of electricity. The National Electric Grid and renewable power plants are the two main sources of electricity in India. Most of them are handled by the central and state governments in India. The private sector also has a certain percentage of power generation and distribution contributions on an all-India basis.
Of the various state boards, the state of Tamil Nadu has the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board or TNEB producing and generating electricity in the region. TNEB has the reputation of being the top state electricity board in India with the largest consumer base.
Paying electricity bills
Every consumer knows the importance of paying their electric bills on time. When you pay electricity bills within the stipulated period, you can continue to enjoy an uninterrupted electricity supply. There are typically two broad categories of making electric bill payments.
- Offline world or in the physical world– It is the most commonly used option. But, it entails sweating it out at the regional branches of TNEB. And, it calls for lots of manual effort and time consumption.
- Online world- You can choose to pay digitally through online payments. You can use your credit card, debit card, Bank Transfer, or a UPI app. Thus, you can choose either of these methods for TNEB online payment.
The key difference between both the forms of payment of electricity bills is that the latter is a lot more convenient than the former. Using online and digital methods, you can make payments fast – almost within seconds. Using a payment app is the ideal way to settle the bills.
UPI payment apps for making online payments
Unified Interface Payment is one of the easiest methods of making payments. The first step in the process is to identify an app – a third-party app that can be downloaded onto your smartphone. For example, suppose you are a Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) subscriber owned by the Haryana Government. In that case, you need to download one of the popular UPI payment apps for DHBVN bill payment. DHBVN has two operation zones – Hisar and Delhi. The Board is responsible for distributing power to about twelve districts of Haryana, including Hisar, Gurgaon, Bhiwani, Faridabad, Fatehabad, Rewari, Sirsa, Jind, Palwal, Charkhi Dadri, Mewat, and Mohindergarh. As a subscriber of DHBVN, for making electric bill payments, choose an app using the following tips:
– Read reviews online and speak to your friends and family for references.
– Research diligently to find out about the reputation and credibility of the owning company.
– Look deeply into the security aspects – it is a good idea to find out if there have been any safety-related issues or complaints before.
– Read about the financial condition and data about the company.
– Ensure that the app has a friendly interface – one that is easy to use and understand.
– Ensure that the app can be downloaded from the company’s official website and not from any third-party sites.
Once you choose the payment app, register with the company after downloading the app. It would help if you started using the app to make payments and transfer money into other people’s accounts. Using the right account can become your biggest pal as you go ahead with the online payment as your preferred method.
