Visit the GoG EPayslip portal to generate your mandate form online. A mandate form is generally required before the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department can process a deduction on your payslip.
In this guide, you will learn what a mandate form is, who needs one, how to generate it through the portal, and the important 2026 update regarding mandate numbers on the old and new GoG payroll portals.
What Is a GoGPayslip Mandate Form?
Think of a mandate form as your written permission slip. It tells CAGD that you personally agreed to let a specific organization take a fixed amount from your salary each month. Without it on file, a third-party deduction is not expected to appear on your payslip.
These organizations may include:
The form serves as proof that you personally approved the deduction. This helps protect government employees from unauthorized deductions appearing on their payslips.

Portal | Mandate Number Format
gogpayslip.com | May generate a different number format

How to Generate a GoGPayslip Mandate Form
Always generate your mandate form directly through the official GoG ePayslip portal. Never enter your employee number, password, or OTP anywhere other than the official login page.
Step 1: Log In to Your Account
Visit the portal and sign in using your Employee Number and password If you have not registered yet, see our GoGPayslip Registration Guide first. If your Employee Number is not being recognised, our Employee Number Not Found guide walks you through the most common fixes.
Step 2: Open the Mandate Form Section
After logging in, locate the Mandate Form option on your dashboard.
On the old portal, this option is usually visible in the main menu. On the new platform, it may be located within payroll services.
Step 3: Select the Organization
Choose the bank, loan company, insurance provider, or cooperative society you want to authorize.
Generally, only organizations registered with CAGD can process salary deductions through the system.
Step 4: Enter Deduction Information
Provide the required details, including:
- Monthly deduction amount
- Start date
- Deduction period or duration
Make sure the information matches the agreement you signed with the organization.
Step 5: Generate the Mandate Number
After confirming your information, the system will create a unique mandate number.
Keep this number safe because your financial institution will need it to process the deduction.
Step 6: Save the OTP
The portal may generate an OTP or verification code during the mandate process.
Never share your OTP, password, or any other security code with anyone, including loan officers, agents, or representatives. If an organization needs to verify your mandate, confirm the official process directly through CAGD or the organization’s verified office.
Step 7: Download the Form
Download and save the completed mandate form.
Some organizations may request a printed and signed copy before they begin processing your application.

The process is simple, but it is important to provide accurate information and keep your mandate number and OTP secure.
