No.. for multiple payment also you will need multiple accounts

As far as I know, 15k using apay card or balance is monthly limit for single account

If your txn Amount is less than 15k then you can do Multiple Bill Payments using same Account.

I did it myself but in my case I did payment for different Connections

As per tncs Mentioned on Amazon from 6th Bill only UPI is supported.
But even for 6th Bill I am getting all other Options

Plus - as this is going to be a large payment, too many parts are not recommended 2-3 or 4 should be good

Different different dates...

Does this mean that 5 payments in each category are allowed with AP GC?

Eg. 5 electricity as well as 5 property tax (municipal tax) + 5 landline etc

I think it's total count. 5 of any of the categories via apay GC and then 6th onwards it's not permitted via apay GC.

Nah I've finished 5 with insurance and was able to pay 2 eBill till now. So it's 5 per category ig.

Insurance is not part of the mentioned specific categories bro.

But even then, it could still be per category for the mentioned categories.

Ahha thanks. Guess I have to try it to know!

This 25k limit on insurance payment is for real since I’m not able to pay even 25728

Finally found a comment that discussed about this, from 2023.

Looks like this has been there for a while. I put this on my status since ive never heard of this before and when a few more people dint disagree, I moved it into a post. Was a genuine mistake. Did not know this is a long standing change. My mistake. Sorry folks.

It's ok
There are many threads for same topic on this forum

Can you please show one that specifically talks about the category wise limitations?

 

[rogerthat]

No don't do it. I have posted proof that it won't go through.

Yeah I get it now thanks... Looks like even Amazon customer care has no clarity. Looks like I have to pay from LIC website only from now on. And LIC does not accept e-wallets or anything.

Don't know what to do with the 22k AGVs stuck in my account. There are no big purchases coming up and my bills rarely exceed Rs.5000 a month. And I have to cough up additional 20k to pay the insurance premium as well. Amazon has f***ed me royally this time.

[ritziveer]

Only upto 25k. Someone else posted the same error for 25k+ txn

Here it is

I haven't tried. But someone paid more in HDFC Life

I need to renew my Care Health policy. I prefer using Amex, but it charges a 2% fee. Amazon Pay is available, but there’s a warning about low success rates for wallet payments over ₹20,000. If the payment fails repeatedly, I’ll be stuck with a high Amazon balance. Should I still go ahead with Amazon Pay?
