Sri Lanka is doing a leading role in the digitalization process through GovPay. Accordingly, the Information Technology Representative (ICTA) introduced the ability to pay vehicle fine online (online) via GovPay for road law breaches in the Southern Province, starting October 20, 2025. With this, citizens will be able to pay fine through the digital way more easily, transparency and efficiency. It marks a major step in the journey towards a fully digitalized public service in Sri Lanka.
Following the successful pilot program conducted at selected police locations in Kurunegala, Anuradhapura and Matale districts as well as the successful expansion of three Western Province and major highways, the implementation of this service in the Southern Province marks the second phase of our national implementation. Since its inaugural launch in April 2025, it has currently facilitated over 21,600 transactions, which has earned more than 28 million rupees.
This initiative, implemented under the leadership of the Ministry of Digital Finance, is led by the Information Communication Technology Representative (ICTA) in cooperation with paid service provider LankaPay (Pvt) Ltd and Sri Lanka Police. In preparation for implementation in the Southern Province, a comprehensive training session and awareness program was conducted for traffic police officers at all police stations in the province, ensuring a smooth and efficient implementation.

Through this, drivers are reducing the need to attend in-person, reduce delays and increase compliance.
