Citizens will be able to obtain Fard through NADRA facilities, with fees collected through cashless payment methods.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has given in-principle approval for issuing land records, commonly known as Fard, through NADRA E-Service Centers across the province. The initiative is aimed at making property-related services more accessible while reducing the need for citizens to visit government offices.
The decision was made during a high-level meeting on reforms in the Revenue Department, chaired by Chief Minister Muhammad Sohail Khan Afridi in Peshawar. Officials briefed the meeting about plans to expand the existing service delivery mechanism through NADRA’s network.
Under the proposed arrangement, NADRA E-Service Centers will supplement the Revenue Department’s Service Delivery Centers for the issuance of land records. The development is expected to provide citizens with a more convenient way to obtain important property documents from facilities that are more easily accessible.
The government has also decided that official fees and other applicable charges for obtaining Fard will be collected through cashless payment methods. The move is intended to improve transparency, minimize administrative hurdles and provide greater convenience to applicants.
The new system is expected to save citizens both time and travel expenses by reducing unnecessary visits to government offices. It is part of the provincial government’s wider efforts to digitize public services and introduce more efficient and citizen-focused administrative procedures.
During the meeting, Chief Minister Muhammad Sohail Khan Afridi stressed the importance of providing government services closer to the people. He said the provincial administration was working to establish a transparent and accessible system while ensuring timely delivery of public services.
The meeting also reviewed the draft Land Acquisition Bill 2026. The chief minister directed officials to include provisions aimed at preventing unnecessary delays in land acquisition procedures and instructed authorities to finalize the legislation at the earliest.
Afridi said the proposed legislation places public interest at the center of the land acquisition process. He further emphasized that ongoing reforms would focus on resolving public issues, improving governance and strengthening transparency.
The provincial government said the NADRA-based land record facility, along with other digital reforms, would contribute toward modernizing public service delivery and strengthening citizens’ trust in government institutions.
