According to an official notification issued by the Balochistan Home Department (Arms Section) on July 15, 2026, the suspension will remain in effect until the digitization of arms dealership licences is completed and the relevant NADRA modules are installed in the offices of all deputy commissioners across the province.

The notification states that all notified NADRA Registration Centres in Balochistan, as well as NADRA counters located outside the province, have been instructed to immediately stop accepting or processing any new applications related to Balochistan’s NPB arms licences.

As a result, all arms licence processing through NADRA in Balochistan will remain suspended until further instructions are issued.
