KARACHI: The Sindh government has launched Pakistan’s first digital insurance monitoring system and mandated third-party insurance for all vehicles in the province.
This initiative aims to increase road safety and ensure financial protection for victims of road accidents.
CM Murad’s spokesperson said that vehicles without insurance will neither be registered nor their token tax collected.
He said the provincial government added a new section in the existing Sindh Motor Vehicle Ordinance 2025 introducing financial compensation to accident victims under which the heirs of a person who dies in a road accident will receive Rs700,000 while Rs500,000 will be provided in case of disability.
Officials say the move is aimed at providing financial security to road accident victims and their families.
Shah has directed the Excise and Taxation Department to strictly enforce the law. Under the new rules, it will also be mandatory to have valid insurance when transferring ownership of vehicles.
CM Murad described the initiative as an important milestone for road safety and protection of citizens, saying that the Third Party Insurance Act would provide the much-needed support to low-income families affected by accidents and ensure immediate financial relief to the victims.
He further stated that the new digital system is designed to be transparent and secure, effectively eliminating the possibility of fake insurance.
CM Murad also directed the authorities to launch a public awareness campaign to inform citizens about the benefits and requirements of the new law.
He emphasized that the aim of the government is not only to collect taxes but also to provide meaningful services and protection to the public.
