B. Searching for my biller

How do I search for the billers to check whether they are available on the eazypay portal or not?

ICICI Bank offers you three options to search for the biller on the eazypay portal.

Search by Mobile Number:
You can begin by entering your 10-digit Mobile no by selecting appropriate radio button. On clicking submit, a One-Time Password (OTP) will be sent as an SMS to your Mobile Number and you will be asked to enter the same on the screen. On successful validation, you will be displayed a list of all pending bills of all the billers who have your Mobile Number registered with them. You can then select ï¿½Payï¿½ to proceed ahead with the payment.

Search by biller:
You can use this option if you are aware of exact biller name to look for. Here, you can directly start typing the biller name. If the biller is active on eazypay, it will get auto-populated on the screen. You will then be prompted to enter some mandatory details and your mobile number, depending upon the biller and its category. On entering them, an OTP validation will happen, similar to the one described above, and a list of all pending bills against the mandatory fields entered by you will be displayed on the screen. You can then select “Pay” to proceed ahead with the payment.

Advanced Search:
You can use the option in cases where you are unsure of the exact biller name and your mobile number is not registered with the biller. Here you can search for the biller using the drop-down provided such as whether the biller is All India type biller or one for a specific state->city combination and then select the appropriate biller. The process after that would be similar to the one described above.

I entered my Mobile Number correctly but didnï¿½t receive the OTP?

You have the option to re-enter the OTP 2 more times. Please click on the ï¿½Resend OTPï¿½ for the same. If you are still not able to receive the same, then please try again after some time. In case you are still facing issues, please get in touch with ICICI Bank contact centre.

I used the ï¿½Search by billerï¿½ and ï¿½Advanced searchï¿½. The Mobile Number appearing in the bill entries is not the one I entered for OTP validation?

It may be because your Mobile Number may not be updated at your biller's end. Some billers may allow you the option to edit the Mobile Number on the screen and proceed for payment. We advise you to update the records available at your biller end.

What is the minimum amount for which we can upload bill? Are there any other restrictions?

The minimum amount acceptable in eazypay is XX. Thisamount check will be done at the time of bill upload and records with amounts less than minimum amount will not be uploaded. The bill amount needs to be in rupees only. If a row contains any amount in decimals, the same will be rounded off to the higher integer.

Can we change the amount limits applicable for bill uploads.

Can we upload bills on our site and use eazypay only as a payment gateway?

The total bill amount for payment will get adjusted automatically on selection of some or all of the heads and the corresponding amounts against each one of them. Once a payment transaction is processed successfully for any bill item for a biller, that row for the biller will not be shown again in the list of pending items for that billing cycle.
