The Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Administration is set to introduce a new digital payment system, making it easier for residents to pay fees and fines through mobile apps. The initiative, launched in collaboration with a private bank, marks a significant step towards streamlining transactions, said the spokesman of the ICT administration. In this regard, Islamabad Deputy Commissioner, Irfan Nawaz Memon, chaired a meeting to discuss the digitisation of public payments in the capital.
The meeting was attended by officials from the Islamabad Food Authority and the Excise Department, along with representatives from private sector banks. The new system will enable residents to pay all fees and fines related to the Excise Office through a mobile application. This includes fines and license fees imposed by the Islamabad Food Authority, which will also be handled digitally.
Additionally, permit fees and fines under the Transport Authority will now be easier to pay, as they too will move to the digital platform. Deputy Commissioner Memon highlighted that Price Control Magistrates would also benefit from a digital solution for managing fines.
He further announced that a formal agreement with a private bank to facilitate this digital shift would be signed in the coming days.
