The government’s Automated Challan System (ACS) now allows users to conveniently pay over 130 government fees, including passport fees, NBR taxes, land taxes, NID corrections, and birth registrations, through bKash, a popular mobile financial service in Bangladesh.

This service eliminates the need for individuals to visit government offices or endure long queues, making the process of accessing government services easier and more efficient. The facility is accessible nationwide, enabling users to save time and money. Additionally, the bKash app enables customers to pay fees for city corporations, municipalities, NID corrections, land taxes, and more. To utilize the service, individuals need to log in to the ACS website, select the desired service, fill out the required form, choose the mobile banking option, and select bKash for payment. Upon successful payment, users can instantly download and save the challan for future reference. The widespread adoption of online fee payment through bKash is fostering a culture of digital payments in Bangladesh, with the platform also facilitating the convenient payment of utility bills for electricity, gas, water, and telephone services.
