The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan has announced the upcoming transition from its current online filing system, ‘eServices’, to a more sophisticated and user-friendly online portal called ‘eZfile’.

This upgraded portal is designed to facilitate seamless access to services and filings with the SECP. ‘eZfile’ will be accessible to the public from February 15, 2024.

To ensure a smooth transition, the commission has requested its users to finalize all pending tasks in the existing ‘eServices’ system before the transition.

Additionally, it has urged them to address any discrepancies in submitted returns with the relevant Company Registration Offices.

Please note that a blackout period will be announced by the SECP from February 09, 2024, for LLP5 and on February 12, 2024, for companies till the launch of ‘eZfile’ during which the ‘eServices’ system shall remain unavailable.

After the launch of ‘eZfile’, the SECP will release updated versions of the statutory forms specified under the Companies Regulations, 2024,’ exclusively accessible through the new platform.
