KP Connects Digital Land Registry With FBR to Verify Mutation Taxes Online

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has launched a digital system that connects its e-Registry and Land Record Management System with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), with the aim of making land registration and mutation faster and more transparent.

Chief Secretary Dr Muhammad Fakhre Alam Irfan and Adviser on Finance and Revenue Tariq Mehmood Pasha inaugurated the system on Wednesday.

Officials said the integration automates the process from registration through to mutation. Mutation preparation, biometric verification and the entry of mutation numbers will happen automatically, which should reduce irregularities.

Through the link with the FBR, federal taxes on mutations will be paid online and verified directly by the tax authority. Each payment record will be attached to the relevant mutation.

Officials added that citizens will no longer need to make repeated trips to government offices or wait in long queues.

The inauguration and briefing were attended by the Senior Member Board of Revenue, relevant secretaries, the Managing Director of the Information Technology Board and Revenue Board officials.
