Payment of various utility bills of Gazipur City Corporation (GCC) can now be paid through Nagad, a financial service arm of Bangladesh Postal Department.

The dwellers of Gazipur city will enjoy this digital payment facility as GCC and Nagad inked an agreement in this regard recently, said a press release received on Thursday.

As a result of the agreement, the citizens will be able to pay their holding tax, rent of various shops run by GCC, payment of hat-bazaar lease fee, payment of licence fees of different vehicles, payment of tuition fees of schools run by GCC and rent of billboards through Nagad.

Trade licence fees will also be added to the list very shortly, the release added.

GCC Mayor Mohammad Jahangir Alam and Executive Director of Nagad Md Shafayet Alam signed the agreement on behalf of their respective organisations. Senior officials of both the organisations were present at the time.

Regarding the agreement GCC Mayor Mohammad Jahangir Alam said, from now on, the citizens will be able to easily pay the bills and fees of all the services of the city corporation digitally through Nagad without any hassle.

Executive director of Nagad Md Shafayet Alam said that it is normal for an organisation of the Bangladesh government to provide services to the people through another government organisation.

Since its origin, Nagad is facilitating various government and non-government organisations to adopt digital payment facilities in a bid to help citizens get their service without any hassle. Online shoppers can also pay their bills through Nagad at near about 2,500 e-commerce platforms.
