Several netizens have retweeted the APDCL tweet and thanked the corporation for informing about it.
A recent study revealed that after the RBI imposed maximum ATM transaction a day, the number of people using online tools to pay bills have increased.
An APDCL source informed that in 2018-19 number of consumers paying bills online have risen by around 12 per cent in comparison to 2017-18.
