In the past few days, I heard some horror stories about
people who tried to get an E – pass , to move out of their homes, for some or
other reason
Some never got it , some were denied and lucky few got
that permission ( pass ) after a few weeks after applying for it online and
filling up lengthy forms
So , I decided
to do some search on web and came across following portal , hosted by National
Informatic Centre ( NIC / Govt of India ) :
It carries a drop-list of 19 States ( I presume others
are working on this )
Selecting any one State, reveals the “ Reasons “ for E –
pass that State issues
.
Some state issues for only 1 “ purpose / reason “ ,
whereas some other State issues for 2 / 3 different reasons
Following is a consolidated list of these “ reasons “ (
includes similar / identical reasons ) :

=========================================================
Clicking on the “ reason / purpose “, takes you to the related
website of the concerned State , where a form is displayed ( for filling up /
submission , online )
Depending upon the “ reason / purpose “ chosen , the
form displayed carries anywhere between 20 to 30 “ data fields “
to be filled in !
Each form has “ permutations / combinations “ of the
following sections :
Ø Applicant’s
Personal Data , including ID proof (
could be 6 / 8 fields )
Ø Applicant’s
Contact Data / Current Address / E mail ID / Mobile No etc ( 5 / 8 fields )

=========================================================
I wonder whether Aarogya Setu Team has dropped the idea
of developing / launching its “ E – pass “ feature as a part of that mobile
app !
For the following reasons, I strongly urge them to go
ahead with integration of E – pass :
Ø Eliminate
all those permutations / combinations of FORMS by different State Govts
Ø Standardization
of “ Reasons / Purposes “
Ø Standardization
of “ Sections “ and the “ Data Fields “under
each section
Ø Standardize
User Interface – common across States
Ø Eliminate
need for an applicant to visit State websites – No separate websites
Ø Centralize
all data, submitted by all applicants, in one single central database
Ø Transmit
applicant data submitted to concerned State Authorities for decisions
Ø Transmit
to applicants ( thru Aarogya Setu app ), permissions / rejections
Ø For
a given applicant, store all permission / rejection history on Setu app itself
Ø When
stopped on road by police, applicant can show permission on his mobile
However , above-mentioned advantages ( of integrating E
pass into Aarogya Setu ) pale when you consider its potential in the form of an “ ACCESS CONTROL APP “
“ Granting Online Permission “ is one side of the coin
Second side is :
“ Actual Use of that permission by the applicant “
These days, most offices / factories / establishments /
public places etc ., some sort of ,
BIO-METRIC
ATTENDANCE DEVICE
Some day, even public transports , such as Buses /
Metros / Trains etc., too will get similar devices installed at their entrances
I suppose even today , Railways stick outside each
carriage,
“ SEAT / BIRTH ALLOCATION CHARTS “,
-
which passengers look up before boarding
Why not ask passengers to hold their mobiles ( carrying
E pass details ) against this BIOMETRIC DEVICE , which will confirm the
authenticity and let the passenger board ?

Dear Shri Piyush
Goyalji,
Please examine my
suggestion in view of those thousands of MIGRANT workers rushing to bus-stops /
train stations, based on rumors of some SHRAMIK
BUSES – TRAINS, leaving for UP /
BIHAR
Why make them fill-in
OFFLINE paper forms ?
And providing no indication
of their seat-allotment ,
Ø
on ( say ) 24th
May
Ø
in a Shramik Train leaving
from Bandra Terminus
Ø
at 4 pm
Ø
in carriage no 4326
Ø
and seat no 27
If you agree with my
suggestion, kindly forward this to the Aarogya Setu Team
with regards,
hemen Parekh
