LAHORE:
The Excise and Taxation Department Punjab is mulling over an agreement with Pakistan Post for the swift delivery of documents and CNICs to the residences and offices of around four million people annually.
Currently, the department has an agreement in place with a private courier company for the delivery of smart cards and registration documents, informed sources.
The excise department hands out more than four million consignments to the company annually, however, the courier service’s delivery rate is not up to scratch. The underlying reason for the shoddy pace of delivery is due to the measly amount of money the courier company receives for each delivery, sources further said.
