Updated at February 2, 2018:

Google has started adding billers to its Tez app [billers list]. You can now start paying your Electricity, Water and Gas bills, DTH and Postpaid mobile payments via Tez.

What makes paying bills via Tez more attractive is the scratch cards. You will get a scratch card of up to Rs 100 every time you pay a new bill of Rs 100 or more through Tez.


Our original story from Friday, February 2, 2018, follows:

With over 140 million transactions from nearly 12 million active users, Google Tez is one of the fastest growing mobile payment app in India. To further boost up its adoption and increase the transactions, Google is adding bill payments option right in the app.

In the coming week, Google will roll out an update to Tez which will add the much-asked feature from its users, ‘Bill Payments’. More than 70 billers across the country will be supported, including utilities and direct-to-home service providers. You will be able to instantly pay your Electricity, DTH, Gas, Water, Broadband and Landline bills via Tez.

Google Tez mobile payments app gains Bill Payments option

Adding Google’s magic to the bill payments, “once you’ve paid a bill through Google Tez, you never have to add the billing organization again“. Tez will auto-fetch the bill details from service providers and remind you when certain bills are due. You can also avoid paying the same bill twice, as the payment status will be automatically updated in the app.

New things on Google Tez
  • Bill Payments option added to Google Tez app.
  • You can pay Electricity, DTH, Gas, Water, Broadband and Landline bills from more than 70 billers via Tez.

In addition to the bill payment feature, Google Tez also gets a special animated moments option dubbed ‘Sparks’. This can be triggered while you send a payment with a certain word or phrase in the message, such as ‘hello’ or ‘India’.

Google Tez with bill payment option and other features will start rolling out gradually over the next few weeks. You will receive a notification when the feature hits your Tez account.
