What is SmartPay and how does it work?
SmartPay is a customer friendly feature allowing you to automatically make all your utility bill payments through your HDFC Bank Credit Card.

You can use SmartPay for all your electricity, telephone, mobile phone, water bill, gas and insurance premia payments.

To avail the SmartPay facility, you need to fill up the form and send it to us along with copy of latest bill of the utility companies. On receiving these, our Cards Division will send you a confirmation on successful registration for the SmartPay facility. Once SmartPay is activated, our Cards Division will make payments to the utility companies before the due date and debit the amount to your Credit Card. You continue to receive your bills from the utility companies.
