Paying your electricity bill to West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (WBSEDCL) online is the most convenient way to ensure your payment is made on time each month. WBSEDCL offers multiple options for customers to pay their electricity bill digitally, avoiding the need to visit a collection center in person.
Pay Online through WBSEDCL Portal
The easiest way for most WBSEDCL customers to pay their electricity bill is through the utility’s online payment portal at https://portal.wbsedcl.in/onlinepay/OnlineBillPay.jsp.
To use the online payment portal you will need
- Your 11 digit WBSEDCL CA Number (printed on your electricity bill)
- Mobile number registered with WBSEDCL
- Amount payable for the current billing cycle
The online payment process is simple and only takes a few minutes
-
Enter your WBSEDCL CA Number and registered mobile number
-
Confirm your name, address, and amount payable
-
Select your payment method – credit card, debit card, UPI, or internet banking
-
Complete the payment through your bank’s portal
Once the payment goes through, you will receive a confirmation message and receipt via SMS and email. The payment will instantly reflect in your WBSEDCL account.
I recommend bookmarking the online bill pay portal for quick access each month. The portal is available 24/7 and processes payments in real time.
Pay Using WBSEDCL Mobile App
WBSEDCL also offers a mobile app for Android and iOS devices that allows you to pay your electricity bill anytime, anywhere. Just search for “WBSEDCL” on the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
Once installed, open the app and select the “Bill Payment” option. Enter your WBSEDCL CA Number and registered mobile number. Confirm your billing details and select a payment method. The app will guide you through the payment process.
The WBSEDCL mobile app offers the convenience of paying your electricity bill on-the-go. You can download the app and store your details to make repeat payments a breeze.
Pay Using India Power Bill Payment Apps
Several third-party bill payment apps and websites like Paytm, PhonePe, Google Pay, Amazon Pay, and Freecharge allow you to pay your WBSEDCL electricity bill as well.
These apps are useful if you already have an account and payment information stored in them. Look for the WBSEDCL or electricity bill payment option, enter your WBSEDCL CA Number, and make the payment through your preferred UPI or mobile wallet.
Pay at Designated Banks
You can also pay your WBSEDCL electricity bill in person at one of the utility’s authorized banks. This includes:
- Axis Bank
- Bandhan Bank
- Federal Bank
- ICICI Bank
- IDBI Bank
- IndusInd Bank
Visit your nearest branch during operating hours with your latest electricity bill. Inform the teller you want to make a payment to WBSEDCL and provide your CA Number. Payments by cash or cheque will reflect in your WBSEDCL account within 2 business days.
Doorstep Payment Collection
If you are unable to pay your WBSEDCL electricity bill online or visit a bank, you can request doorstep payment collection. WBSEDCL has agents who will come to your registered address and collect the payment in cash while providing an instant receipt.
To schedule doorstep payment collection, call WBSEDCL on 1912 or contact your local division office. Provide details of your CA Number, address, and amount payable. This service typically costs around Rs. 20 extra as a convenience fee.
Get SMS/Email Reminders Before Bill Due Date
To avoid late payments, I recommend opting in to receive SMS and email reminders from WBSEDCL as your bill due date approaches. You can subscribe on the WBSEDCL website or mobile app.
Automated reminders ensure you never forget or miss paying your electricity bill on time. Otherwise, late fees up to Rs. 100 can be charged for overdue payments.
Online Payment Offers Convenience and Control
Paying your WBSEDCL electricity bill through the online portal, mobile app, or third-party apps allows you to securely pay on your schedule. Opt in for bill reminders and automate payments for one less thing to remember each month. Online payments give you more control and convenience versus paying in person.
