KARACHI: National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) has signed a tripartite with the Board of Revenue (BoR) of Govt of Sindh and Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) for collection of stamp duty/taxes on behalf of BoR and PITB.

The E-stamping is one of the landmark schemes launched with the view to facilitate general public/tax payers. The e-stamp papers will be issued at the selected branches of NBP through seamlessly integrated PITB’s software system and NBP’s Core banking system. The new feature will enable real-time collection of government revenue. The funds collected will be settled with SBP centrally and e-challan will be provided to treasury. This digital solution will save time, effort and cost while eliminating leakages in government revenue.
