FBR, WeBOC and government online portals

Around the world people have stopped using the Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE), because it is too slow and affected by too many viruses. Therefore nowadays people use Firefox, Chrome and other similar internet surfing software for their daily work.

But in Pakistan our sleeping FBR and Customs have established online programs that only work with Microsoft Internet Explorer and do not operate on any other software. Due to the problems faced by Microsoft IE, the tax payers and custom clearing agents have a very tough time navigating through the form and filling out online forms for FBR and Customs.

Since Pakistani software developers have been highlighted in the news for developing the world’s fastest internet surfing software, therefore I would like to request the FBR/Custom and other Government organization to always create online forms and programs that are compatible with internet surfing softwares.

And since the whole point of starting online form filling is to make it easier for tax payers and custom clearing agents to pay government taxes, but only allowing one software to operate such online forms removes the benefits for the users.

  1. that's true brother that each and every software that were created and only opened in IE is not suitable for each and every user.
    Specially in smart phones

  2. Its right that Internet Explorer is slow browser then other browsers but there also all browsers are slow its depend on internet connections if your internet connection is slow then every thing is slow if you have fast internet then internet Explorer also will be fast.

  3. Not only IE, but only IE 7 and below. Like WTF?
    I work on laptop and now all laptops are now windows 8 and above in which you cannot install IE 7, only 10 and beyond.
