Vodafone M-Pesa Tuesday said it has partnered with two power distribution firms of West Bengal– Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation (CESC) and West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (WBSEDCL) - to offer cashless bill payments to consumers.

"​We are offering the residents a simple, easy-to-use option to pay their electricity bills instantly. Vodafone M-Pesa offers customers a cashless, secure platform for electricity bill payments with the largest network of agents,​"​ India’s second-largest telco in a statement said.

Vodafone India has more than 16,000 outlets or CashIn points including company-owned stores, franchisees, and multi-brand outlets in West Bengal.

These points, according to the telco, provide convenience and ease to customers to convert cash into digital money facilitating digital payment of ills and e-commerce and m-commerce.

Customers can access M-Pesa on either a smartphone by downloading the M-Pesa App or by dialing a USSD short-code (*400#) from any phone including feature phone, the UK-based company said.

With this facility, customers would now have an access to multiple touch points for electricity bill payments in a simple and hassle free manner​, Suresh Sethi, Business Head, M-Pesa, Vodafone India said.

For e-wallet payment WBSEDCL takes extra commission over bill & they facilitate only 2 e-wallet companies in their payment gateway.. Why ? If WBSEDCL has a willful intention of cashless payment they should remove those obstacles.
 
I think Our CM is not in favor of cashless economy bcoz of the demonstration against cashless move by center.

Anyway I don't see any e-wallet in payment page of electricity board site but there is an option in airtel money app but it requires manually entering all details which is very bad

 
Same here, I think there is no wallet app in the market that support TNEB and Indane gas.
 
Now pay tneb (tangedco) through mobikwik and paytm
