The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has announced an imminent transition from its current online filing system, ‘eServices’, to a more advanced and user-friendly portal known as ‘eZfile’.
Scheduled for public access starting February 15, 2024, ‘eZfile’ aims to streamline services and filings with the SECP, offering enhanced convenience and efficiency.
To ensure a seamless transition, the SECP advises users to complete all pending tasks in the existing ‘eServices’ system before the switch. Additionally, users are urged to rectify any discrepancies in submitted returns with the relevant Company Registration Offices. A ‘blackout period’ will be enforced by the SECP from February 9, 2024, for Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) and from February 12, 2024, for companies until the launch of ‘eZfile’, during which the ‘eServices’ system will be unavailable.
Following the launch of ‘eZfile’, updated versions of statutory forms specified under the ‘Companies Regulations, 2024’ will be exclusively accessible through the new platform.
The SECP anticipates potential disruptions during the initial launch phase as it works to enhance user experience and improve service delivery.
