Rent, on the first
The largest recurring bill most households have, and almost none of it is card‑eligible. Register the agreement once; every month after that is two taps.
Invoice‑backed bill payments
Veduka is a bill payment service. Give us the invoice, the rent agreement or the fee notice; pay the amount on your credit card; we discharge it directly with the landlord, vendor or institution that raised it — quoting their reference, the same working day.

The model
Mechanics
Nothing moves without a document behind it. Every payment runs the same path, in the same order.
Upload the invoice, rent agreement, fee notice or payroll register. We verify the payee's identity and account with a penny‑drop and match it to the document.
Veduka charges the bill amount as a standard bill‑payment transaction through a regulated acquirer. Your issuer sees a categorised merchant charge.
Veduka discharges the obligation directly with the landlord, vendor or institution, quoting their invoice reference, and returns the settlement UTR to you.
The bill is already closed on their books. You settle with your issuer on the statement date — up to 48 days later, at zero interest.
The ledger
Fee out, rewards back, days bought. The arithmetic is the whole argument.
Indicative only. Fees vary by category, network and volume; reward value depends on your issuer's earn and redemption rates. Avoided cost benchmarked at 16% p.a.
Who it's for
The largest recurring bill most households have, and almost none of it is card‑eligible. Register the agreement once; every month after that is two taps.
School terms, university instalments, coaching, hostel deposits. Large, dated, non‑negotiable — and rarely payable by card at the counter.
A wedding vendor's invoice, a hospital estimate, a broker's commission. Spread the shock across a billing cycle instead of a savings account.
Spend that was invisible to your card now earns on it. On a ₹1L rent bill, a 1.5% card returns ₹1,500 a month you were previously leaving on the table.
Clear the invoice on day zero, settle with your issuer on day 45. You keep the early‑payment discount and the cash both.
Salary dates don't move because a client's remittance did. Bridge the mismatch against your own payroll register, on credit you already hold.
Upload a batch of invoices, approve once, and clear hundreds of registered payees with a line‑item reconciliation file back.
A GST invoice for every fee, each settlement tied to the bill that authorised it, and API access to push the record straight into your ERP.
Boundaries
The model works because it is narrow. These limits are enforced in the product, not buried in a policy page.
No cash leaves the system. There is no wallet and no stored balance. Every rupee charged is applied to one identified bill and paid to the party that raised it.
Payees are landlords, registered vendors, institutions and employees on a payroll register — each onboarded against a document. Casual person‑to‑person transfers sit outside the product.
You cannot settle a bill payable to an account in your own name, or to an entity you control. It is blocked at onboarding and screened again on every instruction.
Veduka extends no credit and holds no float on your behalf. Your issuer lends, on their terms. We charge a service fee for settling the bill and invoice it with GST.
In your pocket
Registered payees and saved bills travel with you. Approve a settlement, pull the reference, forward it to your landlord — from the queue at the bank if you like.
Custody & control
Funds move through a designated settlement account held with a scheduled commercial bank, segregated from operating capital, and every debit is reconciled against the bill that authorised it.

Questions
No. Veduka settles a bill that you owe to somebody else. There has to be a document — an invoice, a rent agreement, a fee notice, a payroll register — and the payee is registered and verified against it. Funds go to that payee and nowhere else. There is no wallet, no stored balance, and no way to route money back to an account you hold.
No. They need a bank account. We onboard them once as a payee, verify the account with a penny‑drop, and the settlement reaches them as an ordinary bank credit carrying your bill reference. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for.
No. Transactions are presented by a regulated acquirer under bill‑payment and business‑services merchant categories, so they carry your standard purchase rate, your interest‑free period and, in most programmes, your usual reward earn. Final classification always rests with your issuer; we publish how the major programmes treat each category so there are no surprises.
The bill and the payee's account details. For rent, a copy of the agreement. For a supplier, the invoice. For payroll, the register. It is a one‑time step per payee — after that, repeat bills clear in a few taps and recurring ones can be scheduled.
Most bills are cleared the same working day; the median is 21 hours. Instructions submitted before the banking cut‑off clear within the window. Every settlement carries a reference you can send straight to your payee.
A single transparent percentage of the bill, shown before you confirm and invoiced with GST afterwards. It runs between 0.95% and 1.60% depending on category and network. No subscription, no setup fee, no minimum volume.
Your issuer's available limit is the practical ceiling. Per‑bill and monthly caps are set at onboarding from your KYC tier and can be raised on review. Bills above ₹10 lakh are handled by a dedicated desk with an additional document check.
Yes. Rent, retainers, lease instalments and payroll can repeat on a fixed date against the registered agreement, with a confirmation window before each charge so nothing leaves without your knowledge.
Access is opened in cohorts. Tell us which bills you need to settle and we'll come back within one business day with your rate card and limits.
