LAHORE: The Punjab Public Service Commission (PPCS) is set to launch e-payment fee submission system on Aug 1 for the candidates desiring to appear in various tests the commission holds for their selection for different jobs.

The PPSC e-payment system has been developed in collaboration with the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB).

Previously, the PPSC feepaymentwasrestricted to the National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) only and the candidates used to face difficulty while submitting the fees manually for which they had to be in long queues outside the bank.

To save the candidates from hassle, the PPSC is going to introduce a oneclick payment system. To avail the facility the candidates will have to fill the online form by inserting their personal information, generating a 17-digit PSIDcode. They will use the PSID code to pay fees through ATMs, internet banking and mobile phone banking or over the counter (by visiting One-Link banks).

Applicants will also be able to deposit the fees using Jazz Cash, Easy Paisa, U-paisa etc.

On payment of the amount, they will receive a confirmatory SMS and an email from the PPSC.

After getting the SMS candidate will again visit the webpage and will further be directed to the next step of the application process.

Without the fees payment, a candidate will not be able to process his/her application.

After the launch of the e-payment system, PPSC will not accept 32-A fee challan forms.

The e-payment will also help in automatic receipt verification, eliminating fake candidates.

It will be a 24/7 facility introduced to facilitate candidates in hassle-free fee submission.
