Abstract
E-government strategies are defined as the employment of the Internet and the world-wide-web for delivering government information and services to the citizens. E-government has become one of the prerequisites of good governance and is an important milestone in this globalised world. Various models of it have been devised by scholars consisting of stages from 2 to 6, e.g. Layne and Lee Maturity Model in United States, Andersen and Henriksen Maturity Model in Denmark. Irrespective of different e-governance models, main aim and purpose is to enhance government efficiency and outreach in all private and government sectors. E-governance has evolved through four stages, i.e. presence, interaction, transaction and transformation. A state like Pakistan has to go through its fully developed stage, Transformation. So where e-government has huge benefits there at same time it exposes governments and all other linked stake holders to these systems to many perilous consequences as well. Many issues related to privacy of data, network security, Government IT management are attached with E-government.
