UPI-linked credit cards let you pay bills straight from a credit line

Cards like the RBL Bank QuickPay Credit Card and HDFC Bank UPI RuPay Credit Card link to UPI apps, so you can pay electricity, water, or gas bills directly from a RuPay credit card rather than a bank account.

Entry fees for utility-friendly cards are low

RBL Bank QuickPay and HDFC Bank UPI RuPay both charge ₹99 + GST, and AU Prathama charges ₹100 + GST - among the cheapest credit cards on CardsWala, useful if you mainly want a card for routine bill payments rather than premium rewards.

Check whether Utilities is actually excluded from rewards

Several reward and cashback cards explicitly exclude the Utilities category from earning - the RBL Bank Apex Credit Card and Axis Bank Atlas Credit Card, for example, both list Utilities among their excluded spend categories. Don't assume a high headline reward rate applies to your bill payments; check the card's exclusion list first.

Debit and prepaid cards need no credit approval

If you don't want a credit application at all, options like the Axis Bank PMJDY RuPay Debit Card and Bank of Baroda RuPay Qsparc NCMC Debit Card are Nil-fee and work for utility and everyday payments without any credit history requirement.
