ECS is now more secure. You will have an option to allow ECS deduction only for bills of amount upto Rs. 2000/- or Rs. 1000/-. If a bill amount exceeds Rs. 2000/- or Rs. 1000/- (as per option), the amount will not be automatically deducted from your bank account. You have to pay it through other available channels. If you think that your bills will not generally exceed Rs. 2000/- or Rs. 1000/- (as the case may be), this is an ideal scheme for you. To know, always use our IVRS 1501/1502/1503 bill information facility. It is free.
