Ampara Division to Benefit from GovPay Facility for Traffic Fine Payments

A new initiative enabling motorists in the Eastern Province to pay traffic fines through the GovPay online payment system was officially launched on 23 December 2025 at the main auditorium of the Ampara Headquarters Police.

The inaugural programme was jointly implemented by the Ministry of Digital Economy, the Information and Communication Technology Agency (ICTA) and LankaPay, marking a significant step towards digitalising public services within the traffic law enforcement system.

The event was attended by Deputy Inspector General of Police (Traffic and Road Safety) Mr. W.P.J. Senadheera, ICTA Project Manager Udari Withanage, Technical Division representative Inuka Mayakaduwa, and LankaPay Assistant Manager Migara Silva, who briefed police officers of the Ampara Division on the operational aspects of the system.

As part of the programme, a number of modern smartphones were symbolically distributed to traffic officers to facilitate the use of the online spot fine payment mechanism in the field.

Also present were Senior Superintendent of Police – Ampara Division Mr. P.B. Kasthuriarachchi, Assistant Superintendent of Police – Ampara District Mr. I.H.B.G. Sampath Kumara Wickramarachchi, Officers-in-Charge of the respective police divisions, OIC of the Information Technology Division Mr. P.P.P. Lakmal, and officers attached to the traffic units.

With the implementation of this facility, motorists in the Ampara District will be able to settle traffic fines electronically via GovPay. Offending drivers may obtain guidance directly from the police officer issuing the fine. Upon completion of the online payment, the driving licence can be released immediately. Where necessary, fines may also be paid at a later time by following the instructions available at
