BTMO Adopts e-billing System

In a bid to provide hassle-free service to service seekers, the Department of Transport Management (DoTM) has introduced electronic billing (E-Billing) system at Bagmati Transport Management Office (BTMO) at Lalitpur.

The introduction of E-Billing is expected to replace long queues at the office and provide hassle-free and timely service to service seekers. This will also help make day to day affairs at the BTMO more managed.

“With the launch of E-Billing system, revenue collection will be transparent and service delivery will be faster, reducing unnecessary hassle to public while paying revenue,” Sharad Chandra Paudel, director general of DoTM, told myrepublica.com on Tuesday. “The new system will also discourage tax evasion.”

According to Paudel, revenue paid by concerned vehicle owners would directly be entered into their respective accounts.

In the first phase, six revenue counters have been set up at the BTMO, where around 1,200 persons pay their vehicle taxes every day.

The DoTM is in the process of initiating scientific database and vehicle´s pollution test along with digital number plate system on vehicles under its reforms plan. The BTMO deals with registration and keep records of over 800,000 vehicles in Bagmati zone.
