NADRA rolls out new digital security feature for overseas Pakistanis
Pakistan's National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has introduced biometric verification to its Pak ID mobile app, aiming to bolster security for overseas Pakistanis, particularly those living in the United Arab Emirates.
The app, which allows users to apply for a range of identity documents, including the Smart National ID Card for Overseas Pakistanis, will now require biometric verification when logging in from a new device, NADRA said in a statement.
'This new security feature is designed to protect citizens' information and prevent unauthorised access, identity theft, and misuse of Pak ID accounts,' the authority added.
The Pak ID app streamlines the application and renewal process for identity documents, enabling Pakistanis at home and abroad to manage their ID-related tasks directly from their smartphones, without needing to visit NADRA service centres.
NADRA said the added layer of biometric authentication will help safeguard sensitive data, offering users more secure access to its digital ID services.

Recommendations for cashless economy
EDITORIAL: An expert committee on cashless economy, with representatives from the public and private sector, proposed enforcing the use of RAAST QR code, by empowering district administrations to accept digital payments at all retail outlets. RAAST created in 2021 is fully owned by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and offers instant, reliable and digital payment services to the public with the objective of promoting the adoption of digital financial services — an objective that would bring greater numbers into the formal economy. QR codes are used to display text to the user, open a webpage on the user's device, add a vCard contact to the user's device (an electronic business card) to open a Uniform Resource Identifier (a string of characters that uniquely identifies an abstract or physical resource like a website, an email or a book) to connect to a wireless network (which requires wider availability of Wi-Fi than exists in Pakistan today). After the launch of RAAST bulk payments, SBP introduced person-to person fund transfers and settlement services with bank customers able to send and receive payments using the bank's mobile services, internet banking or over the counter services. However, use of RAAST would necessitate having a bank account and one would hope that the rather stringent rules for opening an account are relaxed. The proposal envisages RAAST QR codes be mandatorily installed at all government payment points within six months to create digital wallets for all government disbursements. The beneficiaries of Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) access their Kafalat quarterly payments through cash cards provided by partner banks. However, there are a significant number of beneficiaries unable to directly withdraw their disbursements due to inability (attributed to illiteracy) to use cards which, in turn, accounts for their engaging others at a fee which, no doubt, prompted the committee to suggest that these payments should be made digitally. One would hope that RAAST QR codes would make the beneficiary easily purchase items on the market though it may take more than the envisaged six months to a year for very small retail outlets especially those in the rural areas to use RAAST QR code. The committee pointed out that merchants charge 1.5 percent on credit cards and one percent on RAAST and with the informal economy estimated at 35 percent, the committee proposed that sales tax must be reduced on digital payments from 18 percent to 5 percent along with a three-year tax audit break for digital transactions. The committee wisely suggested that the government must favour incentives to punishment as the latter has not worked. Be that as it may, the audit break would apply to the upper income earners of the populace while the hundreds of thousands of Pakistanis who operate under the radar and do not have bank accounts may not be able to benefit from this feature of the proposal. The committee also acknowledged that SIM blocking will reduce access to RAAST (in practice for non-filing of income tax returns, issues of expired and/or stolen NICs) and urged the government to make the 4 percent withholding tax adjustable rather than a minimum tax; and remove 10 percent advance tax on filers with non-filers liable to pay 75 percent as it raises costs and capital expenses. And finally, the withholding tax under Section 236 was raised from 10 to 15 percent in the 2021 supplementary finance act which applies to tax filers, the industry points out, though the bulk of telecom clients are non-filers. To conclude, one can support the proposals; however, one would hope that allied reforms pre-date the committee suggestions, including ease of opening bank accounts, and reforming the tax structure by reducing the existing heavy reliance on indirect taxes, which are passed onto consumers, to direct taxes based on the ability to pay principle as well as taking account of the genuine needs of all productive sectors.

Haripur's youth sparks digital uplift
At only 25, Hassan Nisar emerges as one of the most prominent youth voices in Pakistan's digital transformation. PHOTO: EXPRESS A young tech leader from Haripur is spearheading a grassroots revolution in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, empowering thousands of young Pakistanis through education, innovation, and entrepreneurship. At only 25, Hassan Nisar has emerged as one of the most prominent youth voices in Pakistan's digital transformation. Hailing from the scenic town of Khanpur in Haripur district, Hassan is the founder of Metrix Pakistan - a non-profit organisation that has rapidly grown into a major catalyst for tech education and economic inclusion across K-P's underserved areas. Having completed his early education in Abbottabad and earned a degree in Economics from the University of Haripur, Hassan's journey reflects both a personal and professional commitment to his roots. "There's immense potential in K-P's youth - we just needed to unlock it," he shared. Launched in 2022, Metrix Pakistan was born out of a desire to bridge the digital divide. In less than three years, the initiative has brought practical training in digital skills, freelancing, and entrepreneurship to thousands of students across the province - many from remote or marginalised communities. "Our goal wasn't just to educate, but to prepare students for real-world opportunities," Hassan said. "We've trained young people to develop portfolios, work on live projects, and land internships or jobs in Pakistan and beyond." Crucially, the organisation has focused on regions often overlooked by mainstream initiatives. From Lower Dir to Mansehra, Metrix Pakistan has hosted summits and workshops in districts that rarely see such activity, creating local access to global knowledge. But Hassan's efforts extend beyond education. He's brought major global tech players into the fold, with companies like Binance, Bitget, CoinEx, and even Microsoft participating in Metrix Pakistan-led events and mentorship programmes. These collaborations have introduced emerging fields like blockchain and Web3 to youth in K-P - industries previously inaccessible to most in the region. "There was a time when the idea of global companies engaging in K-P was unthinkable. Now, they're not just participating - they're investing," Hassan said. Dozens of students trained under Metrix Pakistan have already entered the blockchain workforce, secured freelance contracts, or launched early-stage ventures. "We've shown that with the right platform, youth in K-P can compete at the global level," he added. Outside the digital sphere, Hassan has also led environmental and health initiatives. His discovery of hidden waterfalls in Haripur turned into a sustainable tourism push, generating local jobs and boosting the economy. Additionally, his team has conducted free health camps in rural K-P, addressing basic healthcare gaps in neglected areas. Recognising his contributions, various civil society organisations and government departments have honoured him with accolades including the Fakhre Hazara Award and a regional recognition award for youth empowerment. More recently, Hassan launched the Metrix Pakistan Climate Change Summit series, engaging young people in climate activism. "The climate crisis is real, and our youth want to be part of the solution," he emphasised. Hassan has also advised provincial and federal authorities on youth engagement, digital empowerment, and social platforms, working closely with departments in both Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab. A key part of his advocacy has focused on combating misinformation and digital harassment. Through strategic partnerships and platform outreach, Hassan has helped numerous women in Pakistan report and remove fake accounts used for impersonation or harassment.
