It will also ensure social distancing amid the Covid-19 situation.

To pay the bill, customers have to select ‘Gas’ from ‘Pay Bill’ icon in the bKash app. Those who pay bills on monthly basis should select ‘Non-metered’. 

Then they have to select the current month or if they wish, they can pay the arrears for 12 months at a time by selecting all those months. 

After entering customer code, mobile number and bKash PIN, the bill payment process will be completed.
Metered customers will need to select the customer number and invoice number after selecting ‘Metered’ from gas bill payment option in bKash app. 

In the next step, the bill payment can be completed by entering the bill amount and bKash PIN. 1 percent service charge will be added to the bill amount, that will not exceed Tk 30.

After paying the bill, customers can get a digital receipt that they can save as reference for the future. 

For more convenience, customers can also save their gas account information in the app which will make it easier to pay the bill later.

Due to technical issues, customers using meters that are subject to tax deduction at source will not be able to use this bill payment service.

Customers of Jalalabad, Sundarban and Paschimanchal gas can also pay bills through bKash. Besides, all kinds of electricity bills, WASA and BTCL telephone bills can also be paid through bKash.
