Scope and service availability

Last updated: 26 October 2026. These terms apply to the QarAh Pay website, the relevant merchant/retailer portal and permitted assisted bill-payment services. Services are offered only when enabled for the relevant tenant, biller, channel and user, after the necessary onboarding and provider approvals. Availability shown on a public page is not a representation that every service is currently LIVE.

QarAh Pay is a technology and agent-service platform integrating with authorised service providers, including BillAvenue for Bharat Connect bill-payment services. QarAh Pay does not claim to be the Bharat Bill Payment Central Unit or an independently authorised BBPS Operating Unit.

Customer payment conditions

The customer or authorised agent must check the biller, consumer/account reference, bill amount, due details and applicable payment mode before submission. A successfully completed transaction may be final under biller and provider rules. Do not submit the same bill again while the earlier payment is pending or its status is uncertain.

Fees must be disclosed before payment

The customer must be shown the bill amount, applicable customer convenience fee (CCF), any biller-imposed fee, applicable taxes and total payable before confirming a payment. A fee must not be charged merely because a maximum appears in the schedule below. Agents must not collect an undisclosed fee or an amount higher than the approved applicable limit.

Bill Payments – Fees & Charges

Offline / physical (assisted) transactions: the table below reproduces the customer convenience fee column of the category schedule supplied for QarAh Pay’s BillAvenue review on 26 October 2026. “Up to ₹25” is a reference upper amount in that supplied schedule, not a mandatory flat charge. The actual approved fee may be lower or NIL and must be disclosed before the customer authorises payment.

The schedule applies to the offline/physical channel only. Digital/online payment-method charges, biller-imposed fees and taxes are not specified by this table and must be disclosed separately when applicable under the current provider/biller requirements. These references are subject to confirmation of the final LIVE commercial schedule; they do not independently authorise a fee or activate a payment service.

Prepaid MeterNot specified in supplied schedule

Notes: “Slab-wise” means the actual FASTag fee depends on the provider-approved slab and must be quoted before payment; no slab amounts were supplied. “Not specified” means no CCF figure was supplied for Prepaid Meter and none is assumed by this website. The reference does not cover prepaid mobile recharge or other unlisted categories. The final current provider/BBPCU limits and the fee shown at the approved payment point govern; no agent may exceed them. The public BillAvenue category listing describes LPG charges differently, so the LPG line must be confirmed in writing before any LPG CCF is collected.

Price breakdown, receipt and customer rights

Before payment, review bill amount + quoted convenience/biller fees + applicable tax = total payable. On successful processing, a confirmation/receipt should show the amount paid, charges and taxes charged, transaction identifiers and the provider-reported payment outcome. A fetched bill, initiated payment or pending transaction is not a successful receipt.

There is no customer fee for lodging a Bharat Connect bill-payment complaint. If a fee is not authorised, disclosed or supported by the current provider schedule, it must not be collected. For an unexpected charge, contact support@qarahpay.com.

Retailer / distributor commission and distribution

Customer fees and channel commissions are separate. The “Commission” figures in the BillAvenue offline commercial schedule are provider-side commercial references, not a promise that a retailer receives the entire amount. Any commission or share payable by QarAh Pay to a White-Label Admin, Super Distributor, Master Distributor, Distributor or Retailer is determined by the authorised written commission/rate card, applicable hierarchy, biller/category, channel and actual settled transaction.

No universal percentage or fixed split is guaranteed on this public page. Commission eligibility, adjustments, any applicable tax/withholding, timing and reversal/chargeback rules must be communicated to the eligible partner under the approved commercial arrangement. Failed, reversed, refunded, duplicate, pending or unreconciled payments do not establish a final commission entitlement. Any wallet posting or settlement takes place only when the relevant commission facility is actually enabled and the transaction is reconciled; no automated commission credit is promised merely by these terms.

Agent and collection-point obligations

Only approved agents may offer the relevant assisted bill-payment service. The applicable fees and these terms must be accessible to customers on the website and at the collection point, in a form they can understand. Agents must explain the payment mode, quote charges before collecting funds, protect customer information, provide eligible receipts and use the authorised complaint route. Any additional cash/service charge not approved and disclosed to the customer is prohibited.

Failed payments, refunds and complaints

Where a payment is pending or its outcome is unknown, status must be checked against the appropriate provider before taking another payment. Failed or disputed transactions and eligible refunds follow the applicable network/provider process and the Refund & Cancellation Policy. Complaint and grievance handling is available through the authorised platform/provider flow or QarAh Pay Support, with transaction reference details.

Platform access and changes

Sign-in opens the applicable QarAh Pay platform. Access and permissions depend on account approval, KYC, tenant/service entitlement and current product availability. Biller or provider fees and settlement arrangements may change under applicable rules. A material fee change must be reflected in the approved published schedule or the transaction-specific quote before further payment is accepted; a past displayed reference is not permission to charge a higher fee.
