The e-Pay Punjab, developed by the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) for Punjab Finance Department, has collected a staggering revenue of more than Rs 100 billion against 19.5 million transactions to date.
According to a PITB press release issued here on Monday, e-Pay Punjab has also added Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) fee to its services, making it the 24th levy on its portfolio. The PPSC integration with e-Pay Punjab would allow potential candidates to pay online the fees for job tests as part of the hiring process for government jobs.
Offering online payment of 24 taxes/ levies for 11 different departments, e-Pay Punjab has collected a total revenue of Rs 13.6 billion plus through token tax, Rs 63 billion plus through Sales Tax on Services, Rs 4.5 billion plus through Traffic Challan, Rs 9.5 billion plus through Property Tax, and Rs 1.71 billion plus through Route Permits.
E-Pay Punjab is a flagship project of the PITB, in collaboration with Punjab Finance Department. Automation of the online tax payment system through e-Pay Punjab has made government collections easier by making the payments process prompt and hassle-free through a number of payment channels.
Paying PPSC fee through e-Pay Punjab will ensure transparency and convenience by replacing the traditional payment system. The user-friendly interface of e-Pay Punjab allows the candidates to swiftly fill in the required information, generate a 17-digit PSID code and make the online payment.
E-Pay Punjab also allows payments to be made via ATM, Internet Banking, Mobile Phone Banking or over the counter by visiting the nearest 1Link member banks. Applicants can also deposit the fees using Jazz Cash, Easy Paisa, U-paisa and other microfinance banks.
