Drop boxes at metro stations

NEW DELHI: Delhi metro rail commuters can now pay their telephone, electricity and credit card bills at metro stations.

In a statement on Sunday, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation said this was being done to provide greater convenience to metro passengers. Drop boxes have been installed at stations into which cheques for payment of landline and mobile phones, electricity, credit card and insurance bills can be put in. Additionally, clearing of cheques of certain banks can also be done, it said.

The service is available free of charge and drop boxes have been put at 30 metro stations. Eventually this service will be extended to all the 59 metro stations within the next two months.

The companies whose bills can be cleared include MTNL, Tata Indicom, Airtel, Reliance, Vodafone, Reliance, Dolphin, ICICI, HSBC and Citibank among others.

The drop boxes will be managed by a Mumbai-based firm that will be responsible for clearing them and transporting them to the correct company.
