What is Simpl?

  • Simpl is a payment method where the payment is made first (on credit) and the user can make the payments via Simpl twice a month.

  • Its primary benefit is one click checkout.

  • The settlement has to be done between the user and Simpl, BookMyShow has no role to play.

  • Only a limited number of users are eligible to pay through Simpl.

  • The eligibility is decided by Simpl team and is linked to the phone number of the user.

  • Simpl is a convenient mode of payment which enables the user to make quick payments without having to enter card details, Expiry Dates and CVV.

  • When a user transacts for the first time, he gets a text message which has a link appended. The link enables the user to access his account and make timely payments.

  • The due date falls on 1st and 16th of every month. This makes it easy for the user to remember the date to make the payment.

  • Penalty/Late Payment: A user gets a grace period of 7 days from the due date, after which a user would be liable to pay a late payment fee of a maximum of Rs. 250/-

  • In case a user does not make a payment at all it could lead to certain legal implications.

  • Which ever user is eligible for the 'Simpl' option, he/she would be able to view the option under the payment mode.

  • The spending limit varies from user to user. The increment in the spending limit depends on user behavior, repayments and usage patterns.

  • If the user does not use Simpl, there is no penalty
