ISLAMABAD: The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has launched an online facility for issuance of digitally certified true copies of statutory returns and mortgage registers.
In a statement on Tuesday, the SECP said that in its pursuit of end-to-end digitisation of regulatory processes, it has achieved another milestone with the launch of the online facility for issuance of digitally certified true copies of statutory returns and mortgage register. The new initiative is in line with the government’s vision of “Digital Pakistan”, to create an enabling business friendly environment and improve user experience through the use of technology, said the SECP.
It said that issuance of digitally certified copies will replace decades’ old practice of manually obtaining certified true copies of a company’s statutory returns on physical paper. The application for digital certified copies and mortgage register can simply be made online through SECP’s eService portal.
After submission of online application and verification of payment, the applicant would instantly receive certified copies of desired company on registered email address. The copies can be verified through scanning QR code or by clicking the link available on each document, said the statement. – TLT
