Chitral Times Report
PESHAWAR: Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Ali Amin Gandapur, has decided to roll out the recently piloted “E-Fine System” (Digital Muhasil) across all relevant departments as part of a major push towards e-governance and the digitization of government affairs in the province. The Chief Minister’s Secretariat has issued a directive to the Chief Secretary of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, instructing all concerned departments to take necessary steps for the implementation of the digital revenue system across the province.
The E-Fine System is a unified and integrated digital platform for the online collection of fines and fees imposed by the provincial government. Initially launched on a pilot basis in districts Peshawar, Abbottabad, Dera Ismail Khan, and Swat, the system has yielded highly encouraging results, leading to a significant increase in revenue collection in these areas.
According to official data, out of a total of 4,219 challans issued in Peshawar, 4,201 have already been paid under the E-Fine System. Similarly, D.I. Khan has seen full payment on all 36 challans issued, while in Swat, 875 out of 891 challans have been settled, and in Abbottabad, 282 out of 289 challans have been paid. The system has thus generated over PKR 30 million in revenue to date.
The directive further states that the E-Fine System has not only improved transparency and accountability in the revenue collection process but has also enhanced departmental performance. Most importantly, it provides convenience to the public, as citizens no longer have to visit government offices to pay fines and fees, saving them both time and resources. Given these advantages, the government intends to expand this modern online system to all departments that impose any type of fines. The directive emphasizes the need to establish an integrated coordination mechanism among all relevant departments and to develop a timeline-based implementation plan to ensure the system is rolled out across the province as quickly as possible.
