been received. In case of refund through FBD portal, it needs to be ensured that the
refund being done by the system automatically must be reported in station balance

reported to Traffic Accounts office along with documents for post check.

CRIS has informed that the functionality for refund through e-payment is under

payment is made functional; the refund shall be processed through IRePS. In that
case, after approval of competent authority partial/full refund will be processed
through IRePS and IPAS. The digitally signed Pay Order shall be processed for
refund through system integration between IRePS and IPAS. These refunds should
be reflected in the Traffic book. Such kind of refund shall be processed through
