NPCI to roll out cross-border bill payments service for NRIs living in the UK
IndianStartupNews

1y ago
Medial
The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) is extending the Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS) to Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) in the United Kingdom (UK). This move allows UK-based NRIs to directly pay bills for their family members in India, simplifying the process. Previously, NRIs had to transfer money to their family's Indian accounts for bill payments. The service was initiated by the Reserve Bank of India in September 2022 and is already operational for NRIs in Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates. The NPCI plans to expand this service to other countries with significant NRI populations, like Canada and Singapore.
