Pakistan Citizen’s Portal is a one-stop platform for citizens to access a range of public services and information.

In a concise amount of time, the app has experienced enormous growth in popularity. The fact that this mobile portal came in second place among the top three “best government mobile applications” out of more than 4,600 entries at the World Government Summit 2019 in Dubai is a testament to this.

Essentially, this application is a useful platform via which you may submit your inquiries and grievances to inform the relevant provincial and federal officials about the issue you are currently experiencing.

The portal is divided into various sections, each of which is devoted to a particular government agency, including Municipal Services, Education, Law and Order, Energy and Power, Healthcare, Human Rights, and Revenue.

Both foreigners and overseas Pakistanis can utilise this mobile application. As the app notifies the user on a frequent basis of the complaint’s status, the entire procedure of resolving this issue is totally transparent.

Furthermore, the decision of including personal information in the complaint is left to the filer. The program can be downloaded without charge and was created by the Performance Management Unit of the KP administration.

  1. Complaint management: Users can register complaints and track the status of their complaints through the app.

  4. Public feedback: Users can provide feedback on the performance of government departments and suggest improvements.

 

Mobile Registration Checker

The verification of your vehicle’s registration used to be a time-consuming and taxing process that required you to visit the offices of the relevant authorities.

Now, with the launch of the government application Motor Registration Checker, you can now easily verify car details, transfer history, and ownership records directly from your smartphone device. 

This program displays information once you enter the vehicle registration number, including the engine and chassis numbers, price, colour, date of registration, year of manufacture, and token information.

These car specifics were obtained from the excise departments of the governments of Sindh, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Islamabad’s Motor Transport Management Information System (MTMIS).

You can easily download Motor Registration Checker from Apple’s App Store or Android’s Play Store.

 

Device Verification System (DVS) – DIRBS Pakistan

The government of Pakistan recently announced stricter guidelines and regulations for the import of smartphones into Pakistan. All mobile phones must now be verified through the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA).

You can check the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number of your smartphone with the aid of the Device Verification System (DVS), the app which you can download on your phone.

You can always file a request for your device’s authentication and the payment of imposed taxes and obligations if it is not a PTA complaint. It also has a separate dashboard where you can monitor the progress of your application, which you can download for free from the PTA website.

 

Govt. Jobs Pakistan 2019

Govt. Jobs Pakistan 2019 allows users to find the latest employment opportunities on one convenient platform. This application’s interface has a simple and easy-to-use design.

Since this program has an advanced search option that enables users to find openings of a specified job title, you no longer need to skim through newspapers and other online job portals to check any job vacancies in government organisations. Even though it is updated every day, the app also displays job openings from recent months.

 

PASCO

The Public Sector Companies Management System (PASCO) provides information on the performance and financial management of state-owned enterprises in the country.

  2. Financial management: Users can view financial statements and other related information about state-owned enterprises through the app.

Pharmapedia Pakistan functions as a kind of medical encyclopedia, offering comprehensive information about medications, including their summary, dosage, adverse effects, and chemical makeup.

Additionally, you can find a list of tablets, capsules, syrups, injections, etc. available in your region, along with their market retail prices.
