ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar has taken notice of an application by an overseas Pakistani, alleging that National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) was charging unnecessary, exorbitant fee for issuance and cancellation of Pakistan Origin Card (POC), causing financial burden on overseas Pakistanis, and sought a report in 10 days. The application said they were paying 100 to Nadra for preparation of Pakistan Origin Card (POC). That fee was increased to 150 and now it has been increased to Rs22,000 and Pakistan Origin Card cancellation fee is Rs31,500.
