The Sindh Revenue Department's online property transfer system has remained inaccessible for a third consecutive day due to a technical fault. This outage has significantly impacted thousands of property transactions in Karachi and across the province.
According to officials, the digital platform developed a critical error that blocked access to key services, thereby delaying the transfer process. The system was introduced earlier this year with the aim of speeding up property transactions, reducing paperwork, and enhancing public convenience.
Citizens have been unable to download necessary challans or complete scheduled property registrations, causing frustration among those waiting to finalize their property transfers. The department has acknowledged the issue and stated that its technical staff is working diligently to restore the system as soon as possible.
Sindh’s new e-transfer system was also designed to increase transparency in land dealings and curb fraudulent activities. However, the ongoing outage has raised concerns about the reliability of the digital platform. Officials have assured the public that they are committed to resolving the issue promptly.
The disruption has affected a wide range of property transactions, including those related to buying, selling, and registering properties. Many individuals and businesses are now facing delays in their planned or ongoing transactions, which could impact their financial planning and daily operations.
While the technical team is working around the clock to resolve the issue, citizens continue to experience inconvenience. Some have expressed frustration on social media platforms, highlighting the need for a more robust backup system to prevent such outages from occurring again in the future.
The Sindh Revenue Department has urged all stakeholders to remain patient and await further updates regarding the restoration of the property transfer system. They have also advised citizens to seek alternative methods of completing their transactions until the online platform is fully operational.
