Officials highlighted that the eBIZ portal builds on existing e-governance initiatives such as the e-Filing and Office Automation System (e-FOAS) and e-Procurement, which have already introduced paperless working and transparency in government operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PITB Chairman also briefed the meeting on various ongoing e-governance projects designed to enhance efficiency and reduce bureaucratic hurdles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The provincial government expects the eBIZ portal to ease business operations, cut processing times, and create a more investment-friendly environment in Punjab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
