While CDS Elements are required to access CDS through their authenticated terminals, CDC recognizes the fact that the business activities of its clients can be hampered incase they are unable to access CDS through their terminals due to any unforeseen problem. To facilitate clients in such situations, CDC provides Global Terminal Facility at its premises in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.

Recently, CDC has further strengthened the procedures for usage of Global Terminal Facility. As per revised procedures, the user must bring the assigned R/SA token to logon to CDS through the global terminal. Another mandatory requirement is to bring an original GTF Usage Form (attached) duly filled & signed by the authorized signatory (ies) and bearing company / business stamp. The designated user(s) should bring his/her original CNIC as well as a copy which will be retained by CDC for its record.
