The Kerala State Electricity Board, under Govt of Kerala, has released an official Android app for facilitating online bill payments. The app was officially launched by Minister for Electricity M.M Mani on 15th November 2017 at Thiruvananthapuram. Along with the app release, the payment system is also being shifted to National Automated Clearing House(NACH) by NPCI. Let’s explore the app and see how to pay a KSEB bill.
The KSEB app gives you the convenience of viewing and paying bills quickly. The app also allows you to view your billing, payment and consumption history. You can also pay the bill from KSEB web portal, however, the app has made it convenient with fewer clicks. The app also gives you notifications alerting bill due date, payment confirmation etc. However, a new user cannot register from the app, you need a KSEB web self service profile. So let’s begin with creating a KSEB Web Self Service Profile.
Now that you have a created a web portal profile, you can use the profile details to pay or view bills with the android application. You can also utilize the quick pay option in the app to pay bills without registering on KSEB web portal. The quick pay option is also available on KSEB web portal.
You can also utilize wallets like Paytm to get cash back and discounts on KSEB bill payment. Moreover, the cash back earned from these wallets can be used for shopping or other bill payments. The downside is, it will take few days to reflect the payment in biller account.
As of now, Paytm is the only wallet supporting KSEB bill payment. But since, KSEB is upgrading the bill payment system and features, we can expect more wallet and bill payment service support soon. Hope the article was useful, Peace!
