e-GRAS is the Government of Rajasthan's online Government Receipts Accounting System and forms part of the State's Integrated Financial Management System. It facilitates collection of tax and non-tax government receipts through online and permitted manual modes.

Latest Rajasthan VAT Law — 2026 Position
The Rajasthan Finance Department published the commencement notifications on 3 August 2026. It subsequently published notifications dated 13 August 2026 concerning amendment of the Rajasthan Value Added Tax Rules, 2026 and replacement of specified legacy forms. Businesses dealing with goods that remain within the State VAT framework should therefore rely on the current 2025 Act, 2026 Rules and latest Finance Department notifications rather than older VAT-era instructions.
GST and Rajasthan VAT Are Not the Same Payment System
| Payment / liability | Portal to check first |
|---|---|
| GST liability under the GST regime | GST Common Portal at gst.gov.in. Use Services → Payments → Create Challan or the payment workflow presented for the relevant return/liability. |
| Rajasthan Government tax/non-tax receipt routed through eGRAS | Rajasthan eGRAS or current IFMS challan service, using the correct department and head of account. |
| State VAT liability for goods still governed by Rajasthan VAT law | Follow the current Rajasthan Commercial Taxes/Finance Department process and the Rajasthan Value Added Tax Act, 2025 and Rules, 2026. |
Guest User or Registered User?
The official eGRAS portal continues to describe a limited-access guest account for non-registered users. Registered users can maintain profiles and retrieve transaction history. Because login options can change as services migrate to newer IFMS components, follow the choices displayed on the live government portal rather than relying on an old screenshot or stored password instruction.
Information Commonly Required for an e-Challan
Rajasthan Finance Department guidance lists details such as the department code/name, head of account, district or tax circle, assessment year, purpose/sub-head, depositor/dealer/company name, TAN/CIN where applicable, email, mobile number and address. The exact fields depend on the department and challan type.
GRN, CIN and Challan Status
The eGRAS FAQ identifies the GRN (Government Reference Number), CIN and challan number as key transaction identifiers. Keep these numbers after payment. If a bank transaction succeeds but the departmental record does not update, use the official tracking/verification service and quote the GRN and bank details when raising a query.
Payment Modes
The official eGRAS material describes online government-receipt payment as well as permitted manual modes. Current eGRAS also advertises cards and net-banking through multiple participating banks/payment gateways. Available payment modes can vary according to the department, challan type and portal configuration, so use the options actually shown when the challan is generated.
How to Pay GST Online
For GST, log in to the GST Common Portal and go to Services → Payments → Create Challan. The GST system provides the payment modes available for the taxpayer and credits successful deposits to the electronic cash ledger. A Rajasthan eGRAS challan should not be used in place of the GST Portal's prescribed challan merely because the taxpayer is located in Rajasthan.
Before Making Payment
Confirm the department, head of account, period, taxpayer/account identifier and amount before final submission. Avoid making a second payment merely because the browser does not immediately display a success page; first use Track Challan, transaction history or the bank reference to verify whether the payment has already been processed.
Current Official Tax Updates
For current Rajasthan VAT amendments, Finance Acts, tax notifications and circulars, use the Rajasthan Finance Department website. The Finance Department's 2026 updates include the Rajasthan Value Added Tax Act, 2025 commencement, Rajasthan Value Added Tax Rules, 2026, and subsequent August 2026 amendments.
