Islamabad, February 18, 2026 – The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) have established a secure electronic module for sharing citizens’ information, aimed at improving data accessibility, transparency, and operational efficiency across government departments.
According to an internal communication issued by the FBR, the new data-sharing system has initially been deployed at the FBR Headquarters and will be expanded to field formations in subsequent phases. Developed and implemented by NADRA, the module enables efficient and timely processing of official data requisitions, while ensuring strict confidentiality, cybersecurity safeguards, and protection against unauthorized access.
The FBR emphasized that the initiative aligns with the government’s broader digital transformation strategy, designed to modernize public sector operations and enhance inter-agency coordination. The system will support tax enforcement, compliance monitoring, and verification processes, allowing tax authorities to access accurate and real-time citizen data for official purposes.
Under the new framework, field offices of the FBR have been directed to forward their data requests to the FBR Headquarters via official email channels. Each request must be supported by proper documentary evidence, clearly stating the justification and official purpose in line with NADRA’s established data requisition protocols.
Officials noted that the centralized approach will help standardize data access procedures, reduce delays, and ensure accountability. At the same time, robust cybersecurity controls have been embedded into the system to safeguard sensitive public records against cyber threats and misuse.
The launch of this electronic module marks a significant step toward strengthening institutional cooperation, improving governance, and enhancing service delivery in Pakistan’s public sector.
