LAHORE – Punjab has collected tax revenue of over Rs800 billion through ‘e-Pay Punjab’, a flagship digital payment solution developed by the Punjab Finance Department with the collaboration of the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB).
Launched in October 2019, e-Pay Punjab has facilitated more than 86 million online transactions, revolutionizing how citizens pay government dues and taxes. The platform allows hassle-free payments for 87 different taxes or levies from 18 government departments, eliminating the need for physical visits and curbing reliance on middlemen and agent mafias.
Since its launch, e-Pay Punjab has generated substantial revenue across key tax streams, including over Rs564 billion in Sales Tax, more than Rs39 billion in Property Tax, over Rs35 billion in Token Tax, and over Rs19 billion through Traffic Challans. To date, over 5.8 million users have downloaded the e-Pay Punjab mobile app — a testament to its growing popularity and the public’s trust in digital governance.
Chairing a progress review meeting, PITB Chairman Faisal Yousaf said, “e-Pay Punjab has not only empowered citizens with convenient, transparent payment options but also significantly strengthened the provincial treasury. We are continuously enhancing the platform by integrating more services to ensure safe, fast, and user-friendly digital payments from the comfort of one’s homes.”
