  • Average Indian household pays 42 bills online a year: Study

    Contrary to popular perception, an average Indian household in the top 10 cities in the country pays up to 42 bills online annually, most of it to finance, insurance, telecom and utilities companies. And the community of Internet-savvy Indians paying bills online is expected to increase from the current 0.3 million in 2005-06 to 1.8 million by 2007-2008.

    E-government initiatives have been an effective tool for transforming government service, but they have failed to bring about the complete re-invention that many people expected during the early years, the head of Accenture’s government group said today.
