GovPay has facilitated over 21,600 online traffic fine payments since its launch in April 2025, generating more than Rs. 28 million in government revenue.

According to the Information and Communication Technology Agency (ICTA), the system continues to expand nationwide, providing citizens with a faster, more transparent, and efficient method to settle traffic fines.

Implemented under the Ministry of Digital Economy in collaboration with the Sri Lanka Police and LankaPay (Pvt) Ltd, GovPay enables motorists to pay fines online without visiting police stations or banks.

The digital platform was first introduced through pilot projects in Kurunegala, Anuradhapura, and Matale Districts, followed by expansion to the Western Province, expressways, and most recently, the Southern Province.

ICTA said the income collected reflects growing public trust in digital payments and demonstrates the success of Sri Lanka’s move toward a fully digitized public service.

GovPay’s integration across all provinces is expected to be completed in the coming months, allowing nationwide access to online fine payments. (Newswire)
