In a significant move towards digitizing public services, the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) government has launched the Motor Vehicle Automation System under its online service platform, 'Dastak'.
The inauguration ceremony took place on Friday at the Chief Minister's House in Peshawar, with Chief Minister Ali Amin Khan Gandapur as the chief guest.
The event was attended by the Speaker of the Provincial Assembly, cabinet members, and officials from the Excise Department.
Chief Minister Gandapur officially launched the Motor Vehicle Automation System, which digitizes processes such as vehicle registration, fee payments, ownership transfers, tax payments, and the issuance of universal number plates.
Initially piloted in September of the previous year, the system has already facilitated the registration of 13,229 vehicles, issuance of 71,654 vouchers, and completion of 6,437 ownership transfers, generating over Rs280 million in revenue for the provincial government.
Additionally, 13,738 vehicles have been issued universal number plates through the system. The comprehensive rollout now extends these services province-wide.
This secure and efficient system aims to streamline motor vehicle services, reducing the need for citizens to visit offices for tasks like registration and fee payments.
By enabling online access to these services, the system enhances transparency, curbs corruption, and is expected to significantly boost provincial revenue. Moreover, it serves as a deterrent against vehicle theft and misuse.
During the ceremony, the Chief Minister also launched the Motor Vehicle Registration Smart Card.
In his address, he commended the Excise Department for their efforts in implementing the digitization vision, emphasizing that such initiatives lead to greater transparency, improved departmental performance, and the elimination of corruption.
