The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Technology Board is rapidly automating public service delivery across all departments, under the 2030 vision of reform, perform, and transform. The KPITB aims to go cashless with its efficient electronic billing system.  The department recently approved Pakistan’s first public Digital Payments and Fintech Strategy from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa cabinet. 

KP's First Digital Payment and Fintech Strategy

Arms Licensing Goes Digital

The FinTech Strategy includes the digitization of departments, the eradication of cash-based transactions, and ensuring a cashless KP by 2030. Under these efforts, the KPITB has fully automated the arms license section of the KP Home Department. Citizens are paying through “Paymir”, the KP’s digital payment gateway, and applying online through the Dastak platform (a Unified Public Service Delivery). The payments collected through Paymir, only from the arms licensing category have reached Rs. 2 billion, issuing 175,000 licenses so far.

In the recent automation initiatives, the digitization of the KP Excise Department is worth mentioning. The MVRS (Motor Vehicle Registration System) is seamlessly working online. The citizens can now register vehicles, pay token tax, and transfer vehicles ownership online through the Dastak App, while Paymir is to be used for online payments. 

The statistics highlight that so far Rs. 940 million payments have been collected, 19517 vehicles have been transferred, Rs. 528 million generated from new registrations, and 347 million token tax has been collected.

A one-stop shop for all Public Sector Services – Citizen Facilitation Center

For the citizens who are not comfortable with online services and prefer a one-stop shop for all public sector services under one roof, the KPITB has launched Citizen Facilitation Centers (CFC), with two facilities operational in Swat and DI Khan and expanding rapidly to all divisional headquarters. 

Digital Fines System Across KP

Digital Muhasil- Fine Collection & Management System for District administrations and Authorities has been implemented throughout KP. All fines across KP are now being collected through digital Muhasil. It is estimated that 114 million PKR fines were collected and 1,3079 total challans generated. 

KPITB’s Vision for a Cashless Economy

At KPITB, we strongly believe in a cashless economy and moving quickly to ensure, that by 2030, cash-based transactions are completely eradicated. The aim is to serve the citizens, ensure transparency, and make Khyber Pakhtunkhwa the hub of digital governance. KPITB is enabling inclusion and is becoming the heart of governance.
