As digital payment applications like PhonePe, Google Pay, PayTM, etc have become easy means of transaction across India, a young man from Assam has developed an online payment system and given it the name Assam Pay Commission.

The money transfer application developed by Mustafizur Rahman of Dalgaon in the Darang district has recently received the government’s approval and recognition. The app is registered with the Government of India's 'Bharat Bill Payment System' and is also available in the Google Play Store.

Mustafizur Rahman, son of Zulfikar Ali and Jyosnara Begum, is currently a B-Voc IT undergraduate student at Kharupetia College. Mustafizur has been interested in technology since his childhood.

Mustafizur spends most of the day with his mobile and computer. He has already submitted his app for registration with India Start Up. He is also planning to register his innovation with Assam Start-Up.

Speaking with Awaz-The Voice, Mustafizur Rahman said: "I was thinking about making this app for a long time. I was also facing a lot of financial problems. But, I have been able to get involved in the app over the past 3 months. Just like PhonePe, Google Pay, and PayTM, people can recharge, transfer money, pay bills etc. Our Assam Pay app has all the features of the leading apps in trend. People don't always get cashback when they recharge on other apps. But, in our app, they get the cashback for every transaction.”

 He said, "I was always interested in mobiles and computers. I always used Google Pay, PhonePe, etc. Using these, I thought that many people use these apps. But there is no profit. So, I started working on my app. Those who have used our app are very happy. We take the problems faced by the users seriously and try to fix them as soon as possible. In our app there is a help link, click on it and you can call or message. If you tell us your problem, we will fix it."

He adds he plans to add more features to Assam Pay app in the future. Like the way updates keep coming on other apps, Assam Pay users will also be able to get new features through new updates.

"I am working on another big project. I cannot reveal it right now. But a very nice service will be launched soon," Mustafizur said about his plans.
