The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has transitioned to a fully digital payment system, requiring all financial transactions with vendors and suppliers to be conducted electronically.

According to an official order issued on April 20, 2026, by the Accounts-Treasury Directorate, payments will now be processed solely through digital channels under Government-to-Person (G2P) and Person-to-Government (P2G) frameworks.

The reform supports the federal government’s cashless economy agenda, aimed at reducing dependence on physical currency while strengthening financial oversight within public institutions. Authorities believe the shift will enhance efficiency, ensure faster settlements, and improve audit transparency.

As part of the rollout, Drawing and Disbursing Officers have been directed to collect and submit verified banking information for all vendors, including bank details and IBAN numbers. The information must be documented on approved D.P. Sheets and submitted to the Treasury Division for payment processing.

CDA officials confirmed that cheque payments have been abolished with immediate effect, making digital transfers the only authorized mode of payment.

The transition is expected to streamline administrative procedures, curb financial irregularities, and align CDA operations with Pakistan’s broader digital governance and economic modernization objectives.
