The Punjab government is introducing departmental reforms to ensure the transparency in collecting donations as well as monitoring the collection of “Sadqaat” and charity.
On the directions of the chief minister, Charity Commission has been set up under the Punjab Charity Act 2018.
Usman Buzdar said that that it will be compulsory for all charitable organizations and institutions working across the province to get registration from Punjab Charity Commission before August 15 to ensure proper utilization of charities and donations.
He further maintained that in order to facilitate NGOs, trusts, societies and other charities a web registration portal has also been set up.
It is another step towards promoting e-governance and ensuring the one-click access to services in the Punjab. Applicants can register themselves by visiting; www.charitycommission.punjab.gov.pk.
The chief minister said that the people of Pakistan have an unparalleled passion of charity and helping others. Well-to-do openly helped their brethren who were financially affected from Covid-19.
He said that setting up of charity commission will help to maintain the ledger and misuse and misappropriation can be checked.
