Is it illegal for third-party companies to pay electricity bills?

Third-party withholding is also a way, and it is also allowed. As long as the fees are charged according to the charging standards announced by the State Grid, it is not illegal for third-party withholding.

Cash or transfer payment can be made at the counter of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Bank of China, Postal Savings Agency, etc. It is not illegal to simply pay the electricity bill, but if you are a middleman to earn the difference, it is suspected of breaking the law. The property company can charge the electricity fee of the community, but it is illegal to increase the price because it has no right to increase the price. Price departments at all levels will work with power supply enterprises to carry out special rectification of unreasonable price increases in power supply links. Those unreasonable price increases, arbitrary charges, and dishonest behaviors of relevant subjects will be included in the national credit information sharing platform and published on the website of Credit China.

Pay the electricity fee offline.

1. If there is a property management company in the community, you can bring your own electric card to the community property management company to pay the fee.

2. If there is no property company in the community, you need to bring your own electric card to the local State Grid Toll Operation Center to pay.

3. Take the passbook to the designated bank to pay, then pay at the counter, or pay at the self-occupied payment machine.
