The Supreme Court of Pakistan is set to modernize its financial operations with a new online billing system, officials confirmed. The announcement came after a briefing by Accountant General Pakistan Revenue (AGPR) Kamran Rashid to Chief Justice Yahya Afridi.
The initiative is part of a broader effort to digitalize government payments and reduce reliance on manual processes. The system aims to speed up expense settlements and ensure transparency in financial transactions.
During the briefing, Kamran Rashid updated the Chief Justice on AGPR’s digital initiatives. He highlighted steps taken to streamline government payments and improve efficiency.
