E-sewa, an online payment platform popular among customers in Nepal for mobile recharge, top-up, payment of electricity bills, and purchase of bus, airlines and film tickets, announced that customers in Itahari can pay their water bills through their e-sewa service.

Itahari Small Town Drinking Water And Sanitation Users Association worked with e-sewa to facilitate payment of drinking water bills online.

Ram Prasad Chaulagain, chairman of the association, said, “Many customers had to come to our office from places far away to pay electricity bills.

Customers had to pay up to Rs50 for paying Rs40 of electricity bill,” adding, “Bill payment through e-sewa, however, has relieved customers from the burden of coming to the office to pay bills.” IT Officer Raju Dangal said, “Along with online payment, we have also digitised meter reading from our office.”

More than two dozen drinking water offices across the country already provide bill payment facility online through e-sewa’s platform. Customers can pay bills through a mobile app named Metremark. (PR)
