The National Database Registration Authority (Nadra) is all set to launch dynamic 'e-Sahulat' project, which is an advance form of kiosk, utility bill payment system, says a press release.
The Adviser to Prime Minister on Interior, A. Rehman Malik, will formally inaugurate the e-Sahulat project, indigenously designed by Nadra on Friday by handing over the licenses to selected franchisees.
Of 4,403 applications received for e-Sahulat project across Pakistan, 582 were from Karachi only. The remarkable popularity of kiosk project motivated Nadra to launch another vibrant project e-Sahulat. So far, eight million bills worth Rs 5.7 billion, were submitted under Nadra's Kiosk project. To outreach kiosk operations and allow consumers to take advantage of Nadra services such as collection of utility bills, dispensing pins for scratch cards and online verification (verisys), e-Sahulat scheme has been introduced.
Nadra e-Sahulat is particularly designed for low-income areas to bring faster market access through an established channel by offering technology and business opportunities in rural areas as well as in cities. "Nadra e-Sahulat" will enable all concerned to operate as a "franchisee" and provide services through their own personal computers.0
This scheme provides a single platform for each citizen enabling use of multiple services through CNIC. The biggest advantage of e-Sahulat is its 24/7 availability. A finger-print matching system makes e-Sahulat an authentic package where transfer of fund is an extremely secure activity. A very strong encryption and authentication system has been used, which means that e-Sahulat can be deployed securely even over the Internet.
Under the scheme, franchisees will collect utility bills, dispense pins for scratch cards (mobile phones, calling cards) and will also be able to carry online verification (verisys). The franchise of e-Sahulat is being offered to motivate energetic business persons on a pre-paid basis.
Franchisee will charge a pre-paid account by depositing cash at specified Nadra Swift Registration Centers and designated banks and will carry transactions till the usage of that credit.
Nadra would provide finger-print scanner and kiosk software, back-end support, including software and networking support, training of franchise personnel, advertisement and promotional support of e-Sahulat value addition by bringing additional products on board.-PR
