LAHORE: The e-Abiana System, developed by the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) for the provincial Irrigation Department, has collected over Rs1 billion against 2.5 million bills issued to the farmers.

It was informed in a meeting presided over by PITB Chairman Faisal Yousaf at Arfa Software Technology Park (ASTP).

PITB Additional Director General (ADG) Khurram Mushtaq and other senior officials also participated in the meeting.

The meeting was informed that four new modules; e-Tawan, e-Drainage, e-Effluent Charges and Non-Irrigation use of canal water will soon be added to the system.

Yousaf said: “The e-Abiana System has not only increased the government revenue significantly but also brought transparency, as well as convenience for the farmers in paying their dues.”

“The digital mechanism, operational in 59 divisions across Punjab, is overturning the decades-old traditional process of manual billing,” he added.
