Side-effect of this:

In a move that is likely to cause inconvenience in payment of monthly energy bills, the power utilities in Telangana – TGSPDCL and TGNPDCL – has asked all their consumers to make the payments through their official website or mobile app since payment through all payment gateways and banks has been stopped from Monday, July 1.

The officials said the directions were issued to power utilities across the country. In response to a social media post by the distribution utility (TGSPDCL), several consumers termed it a “harsh step”. Some consumers pointed out that there was no app for iPhone users as it was not available. Some suggested making the bill payments BBPS compliant and some others remarked that the move was a step backwards from digital India.

Cred is still settling the payments through IMPS from its escrow accounts but this won't be allowed for long. Eventually everything will have to shift to BBPS only.
