KP e-registry linked to land record system, FBR

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has launched a digital link between its e-Registry, land records platform and the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), Business Recorder reported. The system was inaugurated on Wednesday by Chief Secretary Dr Muhammad Fakhre Alam Irfan and Adviser on Finance and Revenue Tariq Mehmood Pasha. Officials said it is intended to streamline land registration and mutation procedures.

Under the arrangement, mutation preparation, biometric checks and entry of mutation numbers will be automated. Federal taxes payable on mutations will be collected online, with the FBR verifying payments directly and tax records attached to the relevant mutation. Officials said the process should improve transparency and reduce citizens’ visits and waiting time at government offices.
