- Single Debit Multiple Credit functionality i.e. facility for payment of multiple services in a single transaction.

- Facility for claiming refund through departmental portal.
All Departments/ Directorates having their portals integrated with GRIPS will continue to receive revenue/ deposits in the existing manner.
