Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) extended the scheme of ‘payment of postpaid bills through retailer C-Top Up’ for a period up to 30th June 2016.
As we reported earlier, BSNL started accepting the payment of postpaid bills of Landline, Broadband, CDMA and WiMax Services through retailer C-Top Up / e-Distributors across India. The scheme was extended for a period up to 31-03-2016 with effect from 01-06-2015.
Now, based on the feedback from field units, BSNL authorities has decided to extend the scheme for another period of 3 months i.e., up to 30-06-2016 or up to the implementation of modified scheme whichever is earlier.
Retailers who wish to accept Postpaid Mobile Bills may purchase separate stock for Postpaid Bill / CBP (C-Top Up / Cellone Bill Payment) Wallet. For this, retailers may contact their Franchisee Office and they will give detailed instructions regarding the scheme & commission structure.
