The Board of Revenue Sindh (BoR) and NADRA Technologies Limited (NTL), a subsidiary of the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA), signed an agreement for the installation of the biometric verification system at all sub-registrar offices across Sindh to prevent impersonation in property registration in the province, WealthPK reports. Abdul Wajid Shaikh, the project director of Automation of Stamps and Registration (ASR), BoR Sindh, and Malik Saleem, the deputy director of NTL, signed the agreement on behalf of their respective organisations.

Members of Board of Revenue Sindh Syed Ahmed Ali Shah, Zulfiqar Ali Khushk and other officers of the Board of Revenue Sindh and NADRA Technologies Limited were also present on the occasion. Underlining the importance of introducing the biometric system, Syed Ahmed Shah said that it would help to ensure accurate identification of parties to property transactions including sellers and buyers of property and thereby ensure safe and secure sale, purchase and transfer of immovable property in Sindh province.

He said that it would bring transparency to the registration of property. He expressed the resolve to transform BoR into a modern public sector organisation. Abdul Wajid Shaikh said on the occasion that the NADRA-linked biometric system was the most effective and safe method of individual identification in Pakistan. Its implementation in property registration would eliminate the risk of fraud and impersonation and check the illegal transfer of property.

He reiterated the commitment of the government of Sindh to serve the people of the province in the best possible way without any discrimination. Malik Saleem, representative of NTL, said that the biometric system is capable of proper identification of citizens. It is installed in both public and private sector entities of Pakistan because it has an extraordinary edge over conventional identification methods.
