Through SIP or Systematic Investment plan, people invest a prefixed amount at regular intervals in Mutual Fund schemes. The SIP payment in Mutual Funds can be either through Net Banking or NEFT/RTGS mode. If people opt for Net Banking mode of payment, then they need to add a biller in their Bank account through net banking so that the payment gets deducted automatically at the predetermined intervals. The procedure of adding biller is different for each bank. So, let us look how to add biller for SIP transactions in HDFC Bank.
Once you make your first payment, you receive a Unique Registration Number or (URN). This number needs to be added to your bank account biller so that the payments take place hassle-free. Adding a biller in HDFC bank can be done in four simple steps. These steps are listed below as follows.
The first step in case of adding biller starts with logging into a bank account. Once you log in, click on the BillPay & Recharge tab which is on top of the screen.
