Good Governance Practices Achieved In Telco, Banking And Health Sector By Shifting Of Citizen Identity Proof Feom Computerized National Idenity Cards (CNIC) To Smart National Identity Cards (SINC)

Abstract

The abstract of our research revolves around the fact that although NADRA has played a very pivotal role in making sure that records/bio data of masses in Pakistan are computerized and in this regard NADRA in a short span of 10 years has issued almost around 100 Million computerized identity cards (CNIC). However the conversion of NICs into CNICs by NADRA have not been able to achieve 100 % results in stream lining the system in Pakistan mainly due to the fact that till to date our system are not integrated and secondly CNIC’s do not have the Smart Card intelligence that allows to store loads of data inside a 64 K or 128 K chip. This lack of ability in CNIC makes it’s very important to introduce SNIC’s (Smart National Identity Cards) that will be just like the ATM and Credit Cards and will be able to store numerous data inside it. By using SNIC, NADRA would be able to integrate all the data inside single chip and this will act as a multipurpose card that will be used as proof for identity cards and will help in eliminating authenticity and security concerns as an SNIC will have the power to update the addresses and status of the individual/person, his/her last transaction and much more. At the same time it will also act as Driving License which will bring transparency to the system and will help in verification issues. At the same point it will act as ATM, Debit and Credit Card that will reduce the OPEX for the financial institution increasing the efficiencies and bringing in more transparency as this will also
