Is it safe to pay my municipal tax bill online?

Paying municipal dues, such as property or water taxes, online is completely safe and reliable through the Bharat Bill Payment System introduced by RBI and operated by NPCI. It provides a unified platform to facilitate secure online payments for municipal bills along with other utility bills.

The system is designed with strong transaction safety protocols, including end-to-end encryption, compliant payment gateways, and instant payment confirmation via SMS/receipts. Customers can pay municipal taxes seamlessly using multiple supported payment modes, such as net banking, cards, UPI, mobile wallets, and other channels that display the Bharat BillPay logo.

Citizens should, however, be careful about fraudulent links and not share any information or OTPs with anyone.
