Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Electricity consumers will soon be able to scan a QR code, linked to their bill amount, for quick and hassle-free payment. Madhya Pradesh Electricity Distribution Company managing director Rajni Singh announced plans to introduce QR code-based electricity bill payment system during a review meeting of electricity officials from all the 15 districts in Malwa-Nimar region.
For smart meter users, she assured that disconnected electricity due to pending bills would automatically reconnect shortly after cashless payment, eliminating the need to visit distribution centers.
