Rawalpindi: The Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) has partnered with the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) to streamline property transfer procedures by implementing biometric verification services.
The RDA’s governing body, led by Rawalpindi Division Commissioner Liaquat Ali Chatha, officially approved this pivotal agreement. The meeting also greenlit a Memorandum of Understanding between RDA and the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB), aiming to enforce the e-filing and office automation system (EFOAS) with mandatory biometric verifications for property transactions.
The collaboration between NADRA and RDA, incorporating biometric verification and EFOAS, marks a transformative shift towards secure, transparent property transactions and efficient administrative practices.
Notable attendees included DG RDA, Mohammad Saif Anwar Jappa, and officials from various departments. Commissioner Chatha expressed optimism about the transparent property transfer enabled by the NADRA-RDA collaboration and praised EFOAS for its efficiency in managing tasks and facilitating a paperless office environment.
