Apart from digitisation of cash-based bill payments, these segments would also benefit from the standardised bill payment experience for customers, centralised customer grievance redressal mechanism and prescribed customer convenience fee, among others, the central bank said. Detailed instructions in this regard will be issued by the end of September 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to benefit from diversification of risk as also to\nencourage innovation and competition, the RBI said it has decided to offer\non-tap authorisation to entities desirous to provide platforms for the Bharat\nBill Payment Operating Unit (BBPOU),the Trade Receivables Discounting System\n(TreDS) and white label ATMs (WLAs).
