It is always burdensome if you have monthly mobile phone bill, DTH bill, data card bill, credit card, electricity bill, water bill & gas bill to pay and all those bills have different due date to make payment. All these bills need to be paid before due date otherwise you have to pay penalty and interest charges too. But it is almost impossible to meet due date for a normal person unless you are living a strict & disciplined life or you have to pay only one or two bills in a particular month. Some people pay their all bills before the earliest due date to avoid penalties. Suppose due dates of your electricity bill and credit card bill are during the fourth week of a month your phone bill's due date is during the second week of a month and you are paying all bills during the second week when you are paying your phone bill. But some smart people use bill payment platform like BillDesk to get more control in handling multiple bill payments hurdles. Let's check this complete BillDesk review to know more about this.
