  • isBillable
    booleanoptional
    Whether this request was charged: true if it was, false if not. Errors always show false. Flows that finish later (ITR Fetch, SHCIL eStamp, DigiLocker, eSign) show false here, because the charge is made when the result is ready. eSign charges each signer when they complete signing. DigiLocker deducts the credit when the link is created and refunds it automatically if the link expires before the user completes it.
