  •     Enhanced Transparency: The new system

ensures transparency throughout the payment acceptance process.

  •     Secure Transactions:

All transactions are
highly secure, thus safeguarding sensitive financial information.

Minister Dr. Rajapakshe, speaking at the event said, “We have ambitious plans to leverage on the latest technology to offer maximum convenience to the public when they interact with the judicial system.
