KP Launches e-Fard Portal With QR Code and Dastak App Option

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi formally launched the e-Fard portal on 2 October 2026. Landowners can now get a fard, the land ownership record, online, at a NADRA e-Sahulat centre or through the Dastak app, with a QR code to check it.

The launch also started a public feedback system. People who used a revenue office will now get random phone calls asking how it went, and complaints will go straight to the deputy commissioner.

The portal itself is not brand new. We first checked it on 28 September 2026, when it already showed a nine-step process on the Board of Revenue's site. What changed on 2 October is the formal launch, the third channel through the Dastak app, the QR check and the feedback calls.

KP e-Fard portal launched on 2 October 2026

The KP e-Fard portal lets a landowner get a fard without visiting a patwari or a revenue office. The Chief Minister launched it in Peshawar on 2 October, together with a digital feedback system for revenue services across the province.

A fard is the official extract of who owns which piece of land. You need one to sell land, take a loan against it, settle an inheritance or prove ownership in court. In KP, getting one used to mean repeated trips to the tehsil.

The launch briefing listed these points. They come from the official briefing as reported on 2 October. The KP information department had not posted its own release when we checked that night, so we mark them as announced.

How to get a fard online in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

You get a KP fard online in nine steps on the Board of Revenue's e-Fard site. You register, give a thumbprint once at a NADRA e-Sahulat centre, search your land by name and CNIC, pay through a PSID and download the PDF.

We read the steps on efard.kplr.gkp.pk on 2 October 2026. They are the same as they were in September.

1. Create an account with your name, father's name, CNIC, mobile number and email.
2. Generate a biometric tracking ID on the site.
3. Take that ID to the nearest NADRA e-Sahulat centre and give your thumbprint.
4. Log back in and check that your biometric status shows as verified.
5. Start a new e-Fard application from your dashboard.
6. Let the system search the record by your name, father's name and CNIC, then pick the right holding.
7. Generate a PSID and pay through a bank app, ATM, Easypaisa, JazzCash, UPaisa or internet banking.
8. Download the e-Fard as a PDF once the payment is confirmed.

The site warns that your name, father's name and CNIC must match the land record exactly. If they do not, the search finds nothing. Fix that at a Service Delivery Centre first. The full walk-through, with the SDC list and transfer taxes, is in our KP land record online check.

The QR code lets a buyer check a KP fard

Every e-Fard will carry a QR code, the briefing said. Scanning it checks the document against the central land record system. That gives a buyer or a bank a quick way to spot a forged or edited fard.

This matters more than it sounds. A fard on paper is easy to copy and change. A seller who hands you a printout has proved very little by that alone.

But a QR check only tells you the fard is real. It does not prove the seller has a clean title. The Revenue Department's March 2026 rules for e-Sahulat fards say a fard does not create or confirm title, and that the Service Delivery Centre record wins if the two differ. So before you pay for land, still verify the land record at the SDC and check for court orders.

Revenue offices will now get random feedback calls

The new feedback system phones people who used a revenue service at random. Their answers are recorded as voice feedback. Unhappy callers' complaints go straight to the deputy commissioner's dashboard, and district results feed into monthly performance reviews.

The briefing said satisfaction is recorded in four categories. Districts that do well will be encouraged. Officers in weak districts will have to explain why.

The Board of Revenue listed a "public feedback system" among its digital reforms at a meeting on 16 September 2026, along with online fard and e-registry. The 2 October launch is the first time it has been switched on in public. We could not yet see how calls are chosen or how often.

So if your phone rings after a visit to a revenue office, it may be this. Give an honest answer. If you were asked for money that had no receipt, this is the place to say so.

What the e-Fard launch does not change

The e-Fard is read-only. You cannot change a mutation, correct a name or transfer land through it. Fees are still cashless only, and the e-Fard does not cover every record yet, because many older entries are not linked to a CNIC.

The Board of Revenue banned cash for fard fees, mutation fees and e-stamps in a notification of 15 October 2025. The March 2026 rules for e-Sahulat fards also say a large part of old land records still lacks CNIC links. If yours is one of them, the search will fail and you will need a Service Delivery Centre.

Neither the portal nor the briefing states the fard fee. We did not create an account, so we cannot report the amount shown at the payment step. Pay only through the PSID the portal gives you. Nobody at a franchise should ask you for cash on top.

If you hold land in more than one province, the systems are separate. Punjab has its own way to get a fard online in Punjab, and Sindh and Balochistan run their own record sites too.

Can I get a KP fard through the Dastak app?

The launch briefing named the Dastak app as one of three channels. We did not test the app, so check it before you rely on it.

How do I pay the e-Fard fee?

Online only. You generate a PSID and pay through a bank app, ATM, Easypaisa, JazzCash, UPaisa or internet banking.

Does an e-Fard prove I own the land?

No. It is an extract of the record. The Revenue Department's rules say it does not create or confirm title.

How we verified this

What we checked, where we read it, and what we could not confirm.

Last checked on 2 October 2026. The nine e-Fard steps, the payment channels and the name-matching warning were read on the Board of Revenue's e-Fard portal. The cash ban, the read-only rule and the 16 September digital reform meeting were read on the KP Revenue and Estate Department site. The launch date, the three channels, the QR code, the 1Link and Easypaisa payment and the feedback system come from the official launch briefing as reported on 2 October; the KP information department had not posted its release when we checked. The fard fee is not published on either site.
