Taking the final steps in its plan to start E-payment in Uttarakhand from November 9, the Uttarakhand Government today constituted a committee to ensure that all government departments make payments electronically.

The committee, headed by Principal Secretary Finance, would ensure that all departments make payments electronically from November 9 onwards. The Chief Secretary of the government, Mr. Subhash Kumar, added that all treasuries were already on-line and sub-treasuries would also be made on-line by November this year.

Mr. Kumar informed that the work of E-tendering had already been launched in four departments as a pilot project and E-procurement would also start by the end of this year.
