Bharat Connect (BBPS) Customer Operating Unit — interoperable bill payments across India

Grievance Redressal

A published escalation path with named levels and turnaround times — so a complaint always has somewhere to go next.

PREBAIRD PRIVATE LIMITED maintains a structured grievance redressal mechanism for customers, agents and partner institutions, aligned to the dispute management framework published for the Bharat Connect network.

Before you raise a complaint

Please keep the following ready. Without these, a transaction complaint cannot be traced.

  • Bharat Connect transaction reference number
  • Date and time of the transaction
  • Amount paid and payment mode
  • Biller name and consumer / account number
  • Name and location of the agent or channel used

Escalation matrix

L1

Channel or agent counter

Raise the issue where the payment was made. The agent or Agent Institution can check the transaction status immediately and resolve most cases at this level.

Turnaround: same day, wherever the status is already resolved on the network.

L2

Customer support desk

If unresolved at L1, write to business@prebaird.com or call +91 81166 13429 during Mon – Sat, 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM IST. You will receive a complaint reference number.

Turnaround: acknowledgement within 1 working day; resolution targeted within 5 working days.

L3

Nodal Officer

If you are not satisfied with the L2 response, or have not received one within the stated time, escalate to our Nodal Officer at business@prebaird.com. Quote your existing complaint reference number.

Turnaround: resolution targeted within 10 working days of escalation.

L4

Network dispute desk

Complaints that remain unresolved may be raised through the Bharat Connect complaint facility using the transaction reference number, and are then handled under the network's dispute management rules by the participants involved.

Turnaround: as prescribed by the network's dispute management framework.

L5

Regulatory escalation

If a grievance relating to a payment system transaction is not resolved within the timelines applicable under the Reserve Bank of India's grievance framework, you may approach the relevant ombudsman scheme for digital transactions. Details are published on the RBI website.
