(v) Amendment in Rules enabling keeping of transport related documents in an electronic

form
The Ministry issued an advisory and thereafter amended the relevant rule to enable digital
keeping of transport documents in an electronic form. Under the new rules, the citizen can
produce the transport related documents such as registration, insurance, tness and permit,
the driving licence, certicate for pollution under check and any other relevant documents, if
required, in physical or electronic form, on demand by any police ofcer in uniform or any
other ofcer authorized by the State Government in this behalf. This would enable the use of
digital platforms for carrying and verication of the documents and is a step towards citizen
facilitation and to ensure so that citizens are least harassed/ inconvenienced. A detailed SOP
has also been issued by the Ministry in this regard in addition to an advisory to the States to
accept the electronic documentation by the Motor Vehicle owners and Drivers.

parked with the Competent Authority for Land Acquisition (CALA). Hence it was decided to
develop a Land Acquisition (LA) system which would provide linkage across authorities,
eliminate the need of physical copy, reduce the formatting errors/clerical mistakes and
enable easy tracking of the draft notication. The concept once decided was then given shape
