ISLAMABAD (The Thursday Times) — Islamabad ke sarkari daftar 30 November ke baad naqd adaigiyan qubool nahin karenge, aur darul hukumat ke har tajir ko 31 December tak digital adaigiyan leni hongi, jab hukumat Islamabad ko Pakistan ka pehla mukammal cashless shehar banana chahti hai.
Wazir-e-Mumlikat baraye Dakhla Talal Chaudhry ne Jumma ko Cashless Islamabad mansoobe se mutaliq aik ijlas ki sadarat karte hue ye dono deadlines muqarrar kin. Ijlas ke baad jaari sarkari bayan ke mutabiq unhon ne kaha, “30 November ke baad Islamabad Capital Territory administration ya Capital Development Authority ke kisi bhi mehkame mein naqd adaigi qubool nahin ki jayegi.”
Talal Chaudhry ne bataya ke darul hukumat ke taqreeban 26,000 tajir pehle hi digital adaigi ke nizam se munsalik ho chuke hain. Baqi tajiron ko, sarak kinare rehri walon aur chhoti dukanon se le kar bare tijarati marakiz tak, saal ke aakhir tak is nizam mein laya jayega.
Unhon ne kaha ke Wazir-e-Dakhla Mohsin Naqvi ne Wazir-e-Azam Shehbaz Sharif se wada kiya tha ke Islamabad mulk ka pehla cashless shehar aur duniya ka pehla cashless darul hukumat banega. Ijlas mein Capital Development Authority ke chairman Sohail Ashraf aur bankon ke numaindon ne shirkat ki, aur bankon ne apne taawun ka yaqeen dilaya.
Ye mansooba Wazir-e-Azam ki Cashless Pakistan muhim ka hissa hai, jis ka maqsad zyada tar naqd par chalne wali maeeshat ko digital zaraye par muntaqil karna, len den ka suragh lagana aasan banana aur zyada karobaron ko tax net mein lana hai. Is ka bara hissa State Bank of Pakistan ke fori adaigi ke nizam Raast ke zariye chalta hai, jis se sarifeen kisi banking ya payment app se QR code scan kar ke adaigi kar sakte hain.
Wazir-e-Mumlikat baraye Khazana o Railways Bilal Azhar Kayani ki zer-e-sadarat aik alag ijlas mein pesh kiye gaye aadad o shumar ke mutabiq is muhim ke tehat mulk bhar mein digital adaigiyan qubool karne wale faal tajiron ki tadad chaar guna barh kar 5 lakh se 20 lakh 30 hazar ho gayi hai. Raast ke QR codes ab gas aur bijli ke saadhe chaar crore se zyada bilon par chhap rahe hain, NADRA ke tamam marakiz Raast ke zariye adaigiyan le sakte hain, aur digital adaigiyon ka majmui hajam aik saal mein dugna ho gaya hai.
16 November se Asaan Assignment Accounts ke zariye hone wali tamam adaigiyan, jinhein sarkari drawing and disbursing officers sarkari akhrajat ki adaigi ke liye istemal karte hain, cheque ke bajaye Raast ke zariye hongi. In officers ko is tabdeeli ki tarbiyat pehle hi di ja chuki hai.
Kayani ke ijlas mein State Bank ko Raast QR adaigiyon ke liye merchant discount rate scheme par working paper tayyar karne ki hidayat bhi ki gayi, jis se ye tay hoga ke dukandaron ko ye adaigiyan qubool karne par kitni fees deni hogi. Adaigiyon ki maaliyat, len den ka hajam aur infiradi sarifeen ki tadad aik markazi dashboard par dekhi jayegi.
Darul hukumat kai hafton se isi simt mein barh raha hai. Is ki zilai intezamiya ne is hafte QR code ke zariye jurmane wusool karna shuru kiye, aur Shehbaz Sharif ne guzishta hafte mulk bhar mein mukammal digital adaigiyon ke liye roadmap tayyar karne ka hukm diya, jis ke saath qabil-e-aitmaad internet aur sarifeen ke liye aasan digital sahuliyaten bhi shamil hain.
