You can just ask “Alexa, which bills are due?” and simply proceed to pay your electricity, gas, water, postpaid and broadband bills by saying “Alexa, pay my electricity/broadband/postpaid/water/gas bill” using your Amazon Pay account. A simple “Alexa, recharge my mobile/dth” will assist you in recharging your devices.
