New Delhi: India has introduced a new online application system for faster,
simpler and transparent processing/tracking of the applications
for grant of Indian citizenship, officials said Friday.
The new system will help in setting up a centralised database of
citizenship applications with the home ministry.
"There will be uniformity in processing of applications and
citizenship cases will be processed faster. It will also help in
better monitoring and tracking of the cases as the applicant would
be able to see progress of his or her case," said an home ministry
official.
Earlier, the process would take a long time as the application had
to be submitted to district magistrate from where it was sent to
state government and then the union home ministry.
"As per new procedure, the applicants can apply online at the
website for quick processing of the applications by the agencies
concerned and the central government," he added.
