2.3.3 Bill Payments

            Payments are usually made with a debit or credit card when shopping online. However, various websites allow users
            to pay using alternative methods such as net banking, e-gift vouchers, cash on delivery, and wire transfer. Always
            read the terms and conditions before making the payments. Payments for a variety of government services, including
            electricity, water, property tax, and income tax, can also be made online.

            To show how online shopping works on a normal shopping website, we shop at flipkart.com in this section. The

             2   Type the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the website in the address bar of the web browser. In this case,
                 we have typed www.flipkart.com. Then press the Enter key from the keyboard. The home page of Flipkart will
