A single unified website would be created for public to access all the government services at a single place and Rs 50 lakh had been allotted for developing the website,” said the officials.

The officials also said that the government is also planning for a single e-payment gateway. “State government is giving great impetus to e-payment and so all the government departments had to be equipped for providing e-payment services. Tamil Nadu e-Governance agency (TNeGA) will develop a unified e-payment platform to payment to avail various government services.”

Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS), National Electronics Fund Transfer (NEFT), net banking, e-wallets, UPI, mobile banking and so on will be integrated with the unified payment platform for the ease of public. The unified payment platform will be developed securely by the state government and Rs 1.6 crore had been earmarked for the purpose, said the officials.
