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.
