For now, the SNIC also comes with the provision of accidental death insurance. She said Nadra authorities have been surprised by the response that they have received regarding the new technology. Reaching the 200,000 mark has made it clear that the public has adapted will to the change and welcomed the bright transformation in the database management and personal identification methodology.
The card has over 36 physical security features and has latest encryption codes which make it the safest card in the world. Apart from providing various benefits to the card holder, SNIC also allows transparency of different functions by the government ensuring strict security and preventing frauds related to identity thefts, which makes it an ideal tool for good governance. In future, Nadra intends to provide additional features within the existing and new SNICs which will further ease various identification procedures and provide numerous other benefits and services to the card holder.
