The latest feature supports payment of bills from more than 80 organisations such as Reliance Energy, BSES and DishTV across various services, including electricity, gas, water, DTH and internet.
The app also uses Bharat BillPay system that is devised to fetch the latest bill from providers.
A statement from Google read: “We’ve designed bill payments to be the most convenient way to manage life’s expenses, so you can pay right from your bank account in just a few taps.”
