To end delays in transactions and make them "more transparent", the government launched an e-payment gateway to receive payments for diversion of forest land from project proponents. "The module will end delays in the deposit of compensatory levies. Technology must be used to the advantage of all and the government's endeavour has been to simplify administrative procedures, without compromising on environmental safeguards,"
The payment through the module has to be made to the designated account depending on the state in which the forest land which is proposed to be diverted is located.
The deposit of compensatory levies through the e-portal will be optional till August 31 this year. However, the payment of these levies by user agencies will be accepted only through the e-module route from September 1, 2015, an official statement said.
With the activation of the e-payment portal, no payments will be accepted other than through the portal unless specifically ordered by ad-hoc Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority (CAMPA).
