for Government Services
'GovPay'
GovPay is an online payment platform 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).
