The repayment of credit card outstanding amount has been tweaked by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the changes are effective from July 1.
As per the central bank, all the credit card bill payments via third-party applications must be routed through the Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS)- managed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI).
This has been introduced in the light of the fact that these banking institutions are not integrated with the Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS) platform.
What is BBPS platform?
Developed by RBI with the aim to provide advanced technological solutions to streamline payment collection process for businesses and customers, BBPS empowers one to conveniently make payments through a network of physical outlets like bank branches and collection stores as well as through various digital channels such as apps and websites.
What this system does is that ensures the prompt settlements and accommodates a variety of payment methods for enhanced flexibility and convenience.
