how long does it take for my bill payment to reflect with the biller ?

Most bill payments reflect instantly, but the final posting time depends on the biller category and how quickly the biller’s system updates its records.

Prune provides instant transaction confirmation, but some billers may take a short time to update the payment status internally.

Typical posting timelines

0–5 minutes (mostly instant)

Electricity (many boards)

Mobile postpaid

Broadband & landline

DTH

FASTag

5–30 minutes

Some water boards

Some gas providers

6–48 hours

Loan EMIs

Insurance premiums

Local municipal taxes (in some states)

If your payment is successful in Prune but hasn’t reflected with the biller after the expected time, you can share your transaction ID/BBPS reference number with support for faster tracking.
