ISLAMABAD: The Senate has made a significant stride towards digitalisation with the introduction of an e-filing system, as part of its initiative to become a paperless institution.

In the pilot phase, the e-filing system has been deployed in the transport, administration, printing and publication branches of the Senate Secretariat. Following this trial, the software will be rolled out across other branches of the Secretariat.

Secretary Senate Syed Hasnain Haider appreciated the efforts of IT officials in achieving this milestone. He urged for the digitalisation of the Senate to be completed as soon as possible. This move is expected to streamline operations, improve efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of traditional paper-based processes. The successful implementation of e-filing represents a crucial step towards a more modern and transparent legislative environment.
