Moreover, the Manipur government also launched an e-government receipt accounting system (e-GRS) portal, allowing the payment of taxes and fees from any place at any time.
People can avail of the e-GRAS service by logging into the Manipur government’s official website ‘egrasmanipur.nic.in.’
Although the State Bank of India (SBI) will provide its various payment gateways for the payment of taxes, the state government will gradually expand this service to other banks in the future.
Payment of professional taxes (PT) and value added tax (VAT) will be made available on e-GRAS in the initial stage.
