The biometric verification system has been developed, however, the terms of pricing and delivery of scanners are yet to be decided. The new development would mean that anyone selling or buying a car will no longer have to visit the excise office for vehicle transfer.
According to the reports, NADRA will deliver 250 biometric scanners to the excise department, 50 out of which will be installed in the Lahore office whereas the remaining will be used at the other offices across the province.
