Credit Card bill payment hurdles; w.e.f 1st, July 2024, RBI has mandated credit card bill payments through Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS):
Happy Friday! The central bank has mandated credit card bill payments through Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS), but only eight of 34 banks are live on the network, causing concern among payment companies.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) wants credit card bill payments through third-party payment platforms to stop from next month. The plan is to get all these bill payments through the central bill payment network, the Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS). But there is a problem — only a handful of banks are live on BBPS presently.
Driving the news: Among the 34 banks that are allowed to issue credit cards, only eight are live on BBPS. So this means that after June 30, the customers of all the other 26 banks will be left to pay their credit card bills through auto debit mandates or net banking. The industry body for payment companies, the Payments Council of India (PCI), has petitioned the regulator for an extension, which is yet to be granted
The conundrum: The RBI wants credit cards to be brought completely under NPCI Bharat Billpay (NBBL). However, a bunch of large banks like Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank have not joined the ecosystem. Only the SBI Card and BoB Card, along with a few private sector lenders, are live on BBPS. For the likes of Cred, PhonePe, and others, they can only process bill payments for BBPS members, which means they stand to lose major transaction volumes from next month.
Rationale: There is a reason why the RBI wants all bill payments to be centralised. This gives the central bank better visibility over payment trends. It also helps them track and arrest fraud. In terms of data, the RBI can bring in more transparency and higher public accountability. But like in many previous instances, the industry participants seem to be struggling to keep pace with regulatory mandates.

This sucks as sometimes cards get auto removed and then it shows pending if you add again, if you got more than more card from same bank then it won't shows card already added. Also there is problem of settling which isn't always quick.

The main issue for big card issuers joining is that BBPS offers instant settlement and many people who end up paying through other platforms where transaction takes few days to settle so banks can flag off interest on the amount.
Before RBI directive, interest was charged on whole bill amount outstanding but after RBI rules only on the amount not paid.
This is primary reason I think.
Also revolvers are reducing so credit card issuers cash cow is getting hit big time.

what about HDFC 1% billpay via its dc?
it should work as it is given by hdfc on its own:) on any BBPS bill portal that supports DC's
End of Cred...?
No. They will have a tie up with payment aggregator that relies on BBPS. But the uniqueness will be lost. Now all apps will have same speed of settlement.
If routed thru BBPS, will they allow partial payments, now a lesser amt shown by them is not proceeded further. I mean if the electricity bill is 1111/- you can't pay 500/- etc U hv pay to full amt in one go.
