Buying or selling property in Islamabad often means standing in long queues, filling out a ton of paperwork, and facing uncertainty over the legality of the transactions. This is now set to change with the launch of an e-stamp system by the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Administration.
The new system will digitize key processes such as ownership transfers, mutations and purchase or sale transactions, reducing delays, minimizing human interaction and reducing the risk of fraud.
Islamabad Deputy Commissioner Irfan Nawaz Memon said the initiative aims to resolve public complaints and improve service delivery, ensuring a smoother and safer experience for citizens navigating the real estate market.
He said the e-stamp system is part of a broader digital transformation campaign to modernize land records and make public services more accessible. Residents will now be able to verify property ownership in real time and complete transactions without the bureaucratic hassle that has long plagued the process.
“I have been waiting for months to complete the sale of my flat. If this system works as promised, it will save people like me a lot of time and frustration,” said Huma Khan, a local resident.
Another resident, Mustafa, welcomed the initiative, saying: “Digital records are a step in the right direction. They will reduce corruption and make real estate transactions much safer for buyers and sellers.”
