Chairman IPO, Ambassador Farukh Amil told APP here that now we were strengthening the digitalization regime in the IPO so that the trend of Ease of Doing Business increases in the organization and facilities become available.

The visibility on indifferent platforms and public awareness are the major priorities of IPO at this time, which will make it accessible to the business classes and especially the youth, he informed.

The Chairman IPO said that at present, we were working on digitalization of IPO with the support of PITB, which was an important tool for modernizing institutions in the modern world, which provided facilities to the public and business classes.

He said that a large part of the population of Pakistan consisted of youth who were currently mostly connected to IT and social media and after this facility, they would be able to make online complaints or other facilities in IPO.

Farukh said that IPO was currently making the youth aware of IPO in universities and educational institutions, which would increase the trend of financial education among them.

He said that after automation in the IPO, there would be transparency and simplification of processes in the institution.

The Chairman PO said that recently, IPO signed a bilateral agreement with PITB for introducing automation in the institution, after this agreement with PITB, online payments and another documentation process would be made easy in the next two months and this would also promote Ease of Doing Business (EODB) in IPO.

He said with this agreement, you can do documentation or payment processes through 27 different channels including online banking which will provide convenience to people.

He said that work on this process started last October 2023 and now 17 forms could be submitted through the online system.

Farukh said that now people would not need to come to the IPO office for the process, the process had been simplified through 33 different modules.

He said that a technology-based solution had to be devised that would provide an easy mode of collection for IPO-PAKISTAN using digital mediums such as mobile applications and web portals.

This will also help IPO-Pakistan to integrate with all banking channels to monitor financial transactions related to multiple modes of collections which may result in increasing the revenue for the government and streaming the financial operations, he said.
