Electricity Bill Payment| Bangalore

When I first moved to electronic city, I was shocked to know that there was no online payment gateway for paying electricity bills. Electronic city (in spite of its fancy name) was part of the Rural areas of Bangalore and hence did not have digital records. Being a busy professional. I had no time to pay these bills physically and had to pay 35-50/- for brokers who would do that on my behalf.
Luckily hearing to pleads of citizens like me, Bescom has started a payment gateway for people living in ourskirts (not serviced by BangaloreOne or other initiatives)

Step 3: Fill in the RRNO number and customer ID (from your latest electricity bill)
Step 4: When you select Pay: your name (as per BESCOM records) and your amount outstanding will pop up. Please verify this before progressing
Step 5: Payment gateway (please note that Bescom charges 5/- for online transactions, 1% to 0.75% for credit card transactions.)
Step 6: Take a print-out. Like the Obamacare, this website is also flimsy. Hence don’t be surprised if the record is lost or the website hangs.
Step 7: Wait for the email confirmation from Bangalore Electricity State Board
PS: this is only for those lazy couch potatoes who cannot travel to the BESCOM office.
