The eBiz Portal is a centralized, digital single-window platform launched by the Government of Punjab to streamline business registrations, licensing, and approvals across the province. Developed by the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB), the portal is actively utilized by district administrations, including Hafizabad, to provide complete paperless facilitation for entrepreneurs and eliminate red tape.
Core Features & Functionality
- Single-Window Application: Entrepreneurs enter credentials and upload required documents once to process across multiple departments seamlessly.
- 30+ Business Categories Covered: Supports over 30 business sectors—including hotels, petrol pumps, manufacturing units, and restaurants—for obtaining No Objection Certificates (NOCs).
- Rapid Approvals: Complex processes that traditionally took months or years (such as setting up a petrol pump) are reduced to an average window of 5 to 15 working days.
- Digital Land Use Validation: Uses advanced KML file uploads to automatically evaluate if a business activity is legally permitted on a specific geographic land parcel.
Key Benefits for Entrepreneurs
- Zero Office Visits: Entire processing lifecycle from submission, integrated electronic payments, and status tracking to issuing the final permit happens fully online via the Official eBiz Punjab Portal.
- Startup Subsidies: The government waives registration fees for women-led and youth startups with an annual turnover under PKR 1 million.
- Real-Time Tracking: Provides full tracking updates directly on the user's dashboard.
