Disclaimer & Disclosures Policy

Kindly read the Terms & Conditions before using this Platform (Websites & Apps).

Our aim at Tasdeeq is to bring Law Enforcement Agencies, Employers, Workers, Financial Institutions, Educational Institutions, Multilateral Agencies, NGOs and Social Enterprises on one platform to help create a winning environment for the society.

It’s important to understand the limitations of the Platform before using it:

  • Safe Pakistan Welfare Trust (SPWT) is a Tax-exempt Not-For-Profit Organization, designated by FBR
  • Tasdeeq has provided its platform to its various partners and stakeholders to provide their services for the general good of society.
  • Reference: Background check being conducted and displayed on this platform:
    • Employers input the CNIC number of their workers which is transmitted electronically without any kind of interference from the platform to the custodians of the Criminal Database (Law Enforcement Agencies).
    • The system does NOT perform a NADRA verification. Hence, it is very important for the Employers to first authenticate the worker’s CNIC information being submitted to their workers into the Platform using the NADRA SMS 7000 service. (https://www.nadra.gov.pk/local-projects/identity-management/sms-services-7000-8400-8300-8500/)
      • This step is very important to check against FAKE CNIC numbers. Workers sometimes hide their true identity.
      • The Employers are required to first check the authenticity of the CNIC data by transmitting through text message the CNIC number of the workers to 7000 SMS NADRA SERVICE. Standard SMS charges will apply.
      • NADRA will transmit back the name against the CNIC number as well as the person’s father’s name. This step will ensure that the Employer is submitting the correct CNIC number of the person they are hiring. (https://www.nadra.gov.pk/local-projects/identity-management/sms-services-7000-8400-8300-8500/)
    • This platform will transmit the NADRA issued CNIC information to Law Enforcement Agencies (Police and Citizens Police Liaison Committee (CPLC)). 
    • The Tasdeeq platform is connected to Police through a live API connection. LEAs are solely responsible for the authenticity of the data. The information being relayed & displayed through the Tasdeeq platform with regards to the criminal background check is being displayed at the Tasdeeq end without any human intervention.
    • The Citizens Police Liaison Committee (CPLC) maintains the digitalized FIRs information that has been filed with Police stations since 1987 (http://www.cplc.org.pk/2015/11/04/fir-database).
    • Employers need to ensure that they obtain either written or video consent of their workers before submitting their CNIC for background criminal check.
    • Police FIRs filed all over Pakistan has their inherent limitations, such as (a) CNIC may not be mentioned in some FIRs, (b) Some FIRs may only have first name or name entered with different spellings, (c) FIRs are mostly filed in Urdu or local vernacular language, (d) Some FIRs may have been filed against “unknown people”.
    • In other words, a person may have an FIR filed against him/her but if a CNIC may not be mentioned on that FIR, he/she may evade detection. The same may be true in terms of spelling of the name, maybe different in Urdu to English. An example is “Mohammad” vs “Muhammad”, “Ahmad” vs “Ahmed”, etc.
    • Simply filing an FIR against a person does not mean a criminal activity or that a person may be a criminal. A crime is only confirmed against any person by a Court of Law upon conviction at the end of a trial.
    • Red flagging by the Police system simply indicates existence of a Police/Judicial Record. It does not specify the level of severity of the crime committed. Further investigation by the Employer is required to give a fair treatment to the worker.
      1. It could be a serious crime; or
      2. A very minor offence such as a traffic violation which may have resulted in registration of an FIR and resulting prosecution.
    • Furthermore, the information is entered in the platform (web interface) is a manual process. Hence, the displayed information is subject to human errors at the data entry level.
    • SPWT/Tasdeeq is not responsible for any background information. Tasdeeq is only providing a platform. It is only a conduit.
