Payment Acceptors are simple web pages that accept a set of structured data as input. Once the data has been passed through the Payment Gateway, your bill information will be automatically calculated and displayed to the user. Payment Acceptors work like a browser. When a user enters some structured information, such as their bill amount or their credit card number, the information is passed along to the appropriate bill payment service. A Payment Gateway then calculates the bill amount and displays it to the user.
To send money to India, travellers should know how to use an authentic API to make currency conversion and Bharat bill payments from their bank accounts. Many banks in India work with select currency conversion companies and accept the conversion rates from those companies when customers make payments. If your bank does not accept international currency conversions through an API, make sure you call and ask if they do. If they do accept the maps API, they will be glad to pass your call along to the correct company.

To allow customers to use a single bill payment platform, the central bank has worked on a tiered structure. The platform will have two entities�Bharat Bill Payment Central Unit (BBPCU) and Bharat Bill Payment Operating Unit (BBPOU).
BBPCU is a central system that will connect all billers. In 2014, RBI had authorised the National Payments Corp. of India (NPCI) to act as a BBPCU for this project. NPCI is responsible for setting up operational, technical and business standards for the entire system and its participants, and also undertake clearing and settlement activities. Meanwhile, BBPOUs will be authorised operational entities for facilitating bill payments online and offline. These entities already offer bill payment service to customers, but do so is in isolation.
