Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Bill Connect
How many billers does NxtBanking BBPS cover?
Over 20,000 billers across electricity, gas, water, broadband, mobile post-paid, DTH, loans, insurance, education, housing, and municipal services — aligned with the NPCI BBPS central registry.
What is the difference between bill fetch and bill payment?
Bill Fetch retrieves the current due amount from the biller using customer parameters. Bill Payment debits the customer and confirms payment to the biller. Both are separate API calls with their own webhooks.
Do you provide reconciliation reports?
Yes. Daily MIS reports are available via API, webhook, and dashboard. Each transaction has a unique BBPS transaction ID with end-to-end traceability.
How is BBPS different from a regular payment gateway?
BBPS is an NPCI-operated interoperable bill-payment network. Standardised bill formats, uniform customer experience, and real-time settlement differentiate it from a generic PG.
Can I become a BBPS agent through NxtBanking?
Yes. We onboard Agent Institutions (AIs) and Customer Operating Units (COUs) as sub-agents with full compliance documentation, training, and ongoing support.
What about chargebacks and disputes?
BBPS has a structured dispute-resolution workflow with TAT-bound responses. Our dashboard shows every dispute, and our ops team coordinates with the Biller Operating Unit (BOU) on your behalf.

All APIs follow RBI's Master Directions on payment aggregators, KYC, and PMLA obligations. We maintain audit logs, data localisation, and consent frameworks compliant with the DPDP Act 2023.
How does NxtBanking handle API downtime and failover?
NxtBanking uses a connected-banking architecture that links a single API credential to multiple RBI-licensed partner banks. When one bank's rails experience degradation or maintenance, the API automatically routes to the next available bank — with no code change required on the client side. This multi-bank failover is what delivers 99%+ transaction success rates and 99.9% API uptime SLA for enterprise clients.
