Bandhan Bank has secured a mandate to collect revenue on the e-GRAS Portal from the Assam Government, enabling people to make tax and non-tax payments through the Government Receipt Accounting System Portal (GRAS). This will make transactions easier, paperless, and accessible for the people of Assam.

The bank is present in all 35 districts of Assam with nearly 500 banking outlets and can pay for various services such as House tax, Vehicle Registration Tax, Local body tax, Water Bill, examination fees, and trade license renewal.

Bandhan Bank’s Head – Government Business, DebrajSaha, said that Assam is one of the top 5 markets for the bank and securing a mandate by the Government of Assam demonstrates the confidence and conviction shown by various state governments and regulators.
