This will make the work manageable and easy.

As the old system did not involve the biometric verification system, so the State Bank of Pakistan (SBoP) have ordered all banks to shift their account on e-system. For this, they have ordered all the banks to do the biometric verification of all the previous accounts that were opened before 2016.
As per the directions, different banks have sent text messages to its users to get their bio-metric verification done by visiting their respective branches. In this regard, SBoP have issued a deadline (until this year) to the banks so that they can get the verification done by their each customer.
The main aim of taking this step is to eradicate corruption by keeping a check and balance on each account registered in the E-system.
