National Payments Corporation of India proposes to empanel agencies for providing resources for executing certification and on-boarding of Bharat Bill Payment Operating Unit (BBPOU) and / or testing of Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS) solutions and other products. The preferred location would be from NPCI Chennai/ Hyderabad facilities. Even though it is predominantly for BBPS/BBPOU certification purpose, on a need basis the services may be extended to other NPCI product certifications as well. The BBPS will function as a tiered structure for operating the bill payment system in India with a single brand image providing convenience of ‘anytime anywhere’ bill payment to customers. The objective of the BBPS is to implement an integrated bill payment system in the country that offers interoperable and accessible bill payment services to customers through a network of agents, enabling multiple payment modes, and providing instant confirmation of receipt of payment.
