زمینه فرهنگی
In Indian culture, hospitality is paramount, leading to the famous 'bill fight' where guests and hosts compete to pay. While 'bhugtān' is a formal Sanskrit-derived word, it has become the default term for digital transactions in the 'Digital India' era. You will see this word on every ATM screen and utility website across the country.
The 'Kā' is Key
Always remember the `kā`. Without it, the phrase sounds like broken Hindi. It's 'Bill OF payment', not just 'Bill payment'.
Don't over-formalize
If you're buying a 10-rupee chai, just say `paise lo` (take the money). Using `bhugtān` there might make the vendor laugh!

What It Means
बिल का भुगतान करना is the standard way to talk about paying bills. It covers everything from your monthly phone bill to a fancy dinner. The word bhugtān means 'payment' and karnā means 'to do'. Together, they create a formal sense of settling an account. It sounds more official than just saying 'giving money'. You are fulfilling a financial obligation. It is a phrase you will hear in offices and restaurants alike.
How To Use It
You treat this phrase as a verb. The word karnā changes based on who is paying and when. If you paid yesterday, you say kiyā. If you will pay tomorrow, you say karūngā. Don't forget the kā in the middle! It links the 'bill' to the 'payment'. You can use it for digital payments or cash. It works for physical papers and online invoices too.
When To Use It
Use this in any professional or semi-formal setting. It is perfect for a business meeting lunch. Use it when talking to customer service about your internet. It is also great for banking apps or official emails. If you want to sound polite and responsible, this is your phrase. It shows you understand the formal procedure of payment.
When NOT To Use It
Avoid this phrase when giving a small tip to a waiter. Don't use it when lending five rupees to a friend for tea. In those casual moments, just use paise denā (to give money). Using bhugtān for a tiny candy purchase sounds a bit too serious. It’s like wearing a tuxedo to a grocery store. Keep it for actual 'bills' and 'invoices'.
Cultural Background
In India, paying the bill is often a social dance. At restaurants, friends often 'fight' to be the one to pay. It is a sign of respect and hospitality (Mehmān-nawāzi). However, the phrase bhugtān karnā is what you’ll see on every official government portal. It represents the modern, digital India. Even as people use apps like GPay, the term bhugtān remains the gold standard for 'payment'.
Common Variations
You will often hear bill bharnā in casual conversation. Bharnā literally means 'to fill', but here it means to pay/file. Bill denā is the most basic version used at local shops. If you are at a very high-end place, you might just hear payment karnā. But bhugtān remains the most grammatically 'correct' and polished choice for any learner.
نکات کاربردی
This phrase sits in the neutral-to-formal register. While 'bill bharnā' is common in households, 'bill kā bhugtān karnā' is the preferred choice for business, digital apps, and formal interactions.
The 'Kā' is Key
Always remember the `kā`. Without it, the phrase sounds like broken Hindi. It's 'Bill OF payment', not just 'Bill payment'.
Don't over-formalize
If you're buying a 10-rupee chai, just say `paise lo` (take the money). Using `bhugtān` there might make the vendor laugh!
The Hospitality Fight
If an Indian host says they will do the `bhugtān`, it's polite to protest once or twice before letting them pay. It's part of the social script!
