is an online payment platform in Sri Lanka designed to facilitate digital transactions for government services. It enables citizens and businesses to securely and conveniently make payments for various government-related transactions, including taxes, fines, utility bills, educational fees, and other service charges, through banks and digital wallets.
GovPay is a collaborative initiative led by the Information and Communication Technology Agency (ICTA) of Sri Lanka and LankaPay, the country’s national payment network, operating under the purview of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL). Supported by the Ministry of Digital Economy, the platform aims to modernize revenue collection processes, ensuring enhanced control, accuracy, security, and transparency in government financial transactions. This aligns with Sri Lanka’s digital transformation efforts to enhance e-governance by streamlining financial transactions with government institutions.
GovPay was launched in early February 2025, initially integrating 16 government institutions. An additional 30 institutions are planned to join in two subsequent phases, achieving full implementation by April 2025. This phased rollout is designed to ensure a seamless, user-friendly experience, enabling citizens to make payments for government services through popular fintech applications or online banking platforms.
