The Punjab government has announced that all services offered through the e-Biz Portal will be available exclusively online from February 1, eliminating the need for applicants to visit government offices for routine matters.
The announcement was made during a review meeting chaired by the Chief Secretary Punjab, where officials discussed progress on digital governance initiatives. It was confirmed that citizens will be able to complete applications and access services entirely online, streamlining procedures and reducing administrative delays.
During the meeting, the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) was directed to increase the number of services on the e-Biz Portal to 310 by March. At present, the portal provides 210 services across 15 government departments.
Officials also revealed that the process of shifting field offices and subordinate departments to the e-FAS system has begun, further expanding the scope of digital service delivery across the province.
The Chief Secretary noted that the success of the e-Biz and e-FAS platforms is the result of effective teamwork and institutional coordination. He emphasized that these initiatives are designed to free citizens from repeated office visits, saving time and improving transparency in government operations.
The move is being seen as another step toward digital governance and ease of doing business in Punjab, with authorities aiming to make public services more accessible, efficient, and citizen-friendly.
