In a groundbreaking move set to redefine traffic management in Pakistan, Zindigi, powered by JS Bank, has partnered with the Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK) Police to introduce an advanced, fully digital traffic fine issuance system. This strategic public-private collaboration marks a shift from outdated paper-based procedures to a seamless, tech-driven platform designed to boost efficiency, transparency, and public convenience.
The initiative will not only improve law enforcement operations in the region but also empower citizens with modern payment options that simplify the entire traffic fine process.
A Major Leap Toward Smart Policing in AJK
As part of this strategic agreement, Zindigi will provide the AJK Police with smart handheld devices integrated with Bluetooth-enabled printers. These devices will allow officers to issue traffic fines digitally and in real-time, eliminating the need for manual paperwork and reducing the risk of errors or delays.
More importantly, the system will be fully integrated with various secure payment gateways, allowing violators to pay their fines instantly using:
- Mobile wallets
- ATM/debit cards
- Credit cards
- QR codes
This level of convenience has never been seen before in the region’s traffic enforcement system and reflects a significant advancement in service delivery.
Enhancing Public Trust and Efficiency
Inspector General of Police AJK, Abdul Jabbar, hailed the collaboration as a crucial step toward modernizing law enforcement in the region. “We aim to bring AJK Police at par with modern police organizations. Our objective is to enhance operational efficiency and ensure seamless service delivery,” he said.
He added that the shift to a digital framework would boost transparency and foster greater trust between the public and the police. By embracing advanced technological solutions, we strive to provide greater convenience to the public, fostering trust, enhancing transparency and improving overall safety and security within the region.
This project is part of a broader vision to build a smart, secure, and digitally enabled infrastructure for public services in Azad Jammu & Kashmir.
Zindigi’s Commitment to Digitizing Public Services
Founder and Chief Officer of Zindigi, Noman Azhar, emphasized the private sector’s responsibility in driving the country’s digital transformation. The digitization of public services is a shared responsibility, and the private sector must play a positive and proactive role in driving this change,he said.
What makes this initiative even more notable is Zindigi’s commitment to funding the project entirely, placing no financial burden on the government. “At Zindigi, we are committed to creating a meaningful impact by supporting the ecosystem with sustainable solutions. We lead such initiatives by fully absorbing the cost, as part of our dedication to building a more efficient and digitally empowered Pakistan,” Azhar added.
This approach sets a strong precedent for future public-private partnerships in Pakistan, showcasing how fintech can support public institutions in achieving their digital transformation goals without straining government budgets.
A Win-Win for Citizens and Authorities
The benefits of this initiative extend far beyond just the AJK Police. For citizens, it offers:
- Faster fine processing and issuance
- Convenient on-the-spot payments
- Reduced chances of human error or mismanagement
- A transparent, traceable digital record of transactions
For the authorities, the system brings:

This modernization effort is not just about digitization—it’s about transforming the way public services are delivered, making them more people-centric and result-oriented.
Building a Smarter Pakistan, One Step at a Time
This collaboration between Zindigi and the AJK Police is a clear reflection of how fintech innovation can strengthen public service infrastructure. It highlights the immense potential of private sector-led digital initiatives in contributing to national development.
As Zindigi continues to roll out similar digital solutions across different sectors, it reinforces its position as a leading change-maker in Pakistan’s digital economy. This latest partnership stands as a powerful example of what can be achieved when vision meets innovation, and when both the public and private sectors join hands for the greater good.
