The Information and Communication Technology Agency (ICTA) says steps are being taken to enable Govpay for the payment of traffic fines.
According to ICTA Board Member, Harsha Purasinghe, the public will very soon be able to settle traffic fines through Govpay, to provide relief to motorists.
It is reported that groundwork in this regard has been completed by the ICTA and an agreement is set to be signed soon.
Govpay is a newly introduced official online payment platform for government-related services, such as taxes, fines, utility bills, and educational fees.
Speaking during a recent forum in Colombo, Harsha Purasinghe revealed that the newly appointed ICTA Board had found that despite being piloted, the Govpay digital payment platform had not been introduced.
“After coordination with several other agencies, Govpay was finally launched to the public with many new features within a short period. When we launched Govpay on the 7th, we had 16 government organisations on board. As of today, we have 25 organisations. Every week, we are adding new public institutions,” Purasinghe said. (Newswire)
