Integrated tax collection system

PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has introduced ‘Digital Mahasil’, an integrated and unified platform, for collection of fines, taxes and other revenues in the province.

Chief Minister Ali Amin Khan Gandapur on Wednesday formally launched the e-fines portal under ‘Digital Mahasil’ initiative at a ceremony held at Chief Minister’s Secretariat, Peshawar. 

As per details, e-fines portal has been piloted from the provincial capital Peshawar, which will be extended to rest of the districts of the province. Initially, the line departments, functioning under district administration will collect fines through digital portal.

However, in later stages the initiative will be extended to other districts with addition of other features including collection of taxes and other revenues.

The portal is an integrated digital platform with an ability to function offline as well. With the implementation of this integrated system alongside ensuring transparency in taxes and fines collection windows for forgery, duplication and mistakes will also be closed.

Through e-fine portal, violators will be notified that they have been fined legally and their fines have been deposited in government kitty. Other features of the portal include, availability of artificial intelligence based dashboard recording all the details related to fines and revenues.

Moreover, QR code generation facility has been incorporated for online verification of fines and taxes. Similarly, in next phase, a digital payment system will also be introduced for online payments.
