Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Technology Board (KPITB) has achieved a major milestone by fully automating the operations of the KP Excise Department through the Dastak platform. This move is a part of the provincial government’s broader vision for a cashless economy and enhanced digital governance, driven by its emerging FinTech roadmap. The integration of Dastak into excise services signals the province’s commitment to streamlining public sector processes through digital tools that offer convenience, transparency, and efficiency.

The digital transformation of the KP Excise Department aligns with the government’s strategic focus on adopting technology to improve citizen services. As part of this initiative, the department has seen notable progress in revenue generation and service delivery. According to official data, the department collected a total of Rs. 940 million in revenue through automated systems. This includes Rs. 528 million generated from new vehicle registrations and Rs. 347 million collected in token tax payments. Additionally, 19,517 vehicles were successfully transferred through the new digital platform.

The shift toward automation is also enabling real-time tracking and faster turnaround for routine services that previously required manual processing. By minimizing human intervention and physical paperwork, the department has significantly reduced service delays and improved compliance in vehicle tax and registration processes. These outcomes represent a tangible example of how digital infrastructure can contribute to better governance and resource mobilization.

The implementation of the Dastak platform is part of KPITB’s FinTech strategy, which includes other innovations such as Paymir, designed to advance cashless transactions and simplify citizen payments. The strategy seeks to build a digital ecosystem where public services can be accessed seamlessly across departments using unified platforms. The success with the Excise Department sets the foundation for further expansion of Dastak and similar solutions across other government sectors in the province.

This digital shift also complements the larger national agenda of promoting e-governance, financial inclusion, and efficient service delivery through public-private collaborations and smart technology. KPITB continues to lead in pushing these reforms at the provincial level, aiming to position Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as a digital-first region with citizen-centric public service models.

The province is expected to roll out more services in the near future under this initiative, with updates and expansions planned as part of its digital transformation roadmap. Residents can anticipate the launch of new tools and services that further enhance their experience interacting with government departments, eliminating unnecessary visits and manual processes. By integrating platforms like Dastak into everyday governance functions, KP is moving closer to establishing a fully digitized service framework that supports transparency, accountability, and user accessibility across the board.
