Islamabad: The Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Administration is introducing a new digital payment system to simplify the process for residents to pay fees and fines via mobile apps.

This initiative, launched in collaboration with a private bank, represents a major advancement in streamlining transactions, according to an ICT administration spokesperson.

Deputy Commissioner (DC) Islamabad, Irfan Nawaz Memon, chaired a meeting to discuss the digitization of public payments. The meeting included officials from the Food Authority and the Excise Department, as well as representatives from the private bank.

The new system will allow 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 Food Authority, which will also be processed digitally.

Additionally, permit fees and fines under the Transport Authority will be handled through the digital platform.

Deputy Commissioner Irfan Nawaz emphasized that Price Control Magistrates would also benefit from this digital solution for managing fines. He announced that a formal agreement with the private bank to facilitate this digital transition will be signed in the coming days.
