November 17, 2014 10:23

In a new Aadhar-linked facility, Maharashtra government has developed an online repository for important documents like certificates, degrees, etc which are frequently required to apply for any job and other services.

The "Maha Digital Locker" will end to hassle of physically carrying important documents like education and property certificates.

"Our state has done a lot of progress in e-governance and even the central government has praised us for our revolutionary work in the IT field. Even this new programme of ours has earned the appreciation of the Union government," Director of IT department of the State Secretariat, Virendra Singh told PTI.

Elaborating on the specifics of the programme, Singh said, "Everyone who has an Aadhar card can use the e-locker facility by logging in on elocker.maharashtra.gov.in. The Aadhar number will be the key to open the person's account. That person can upload and save the scanned copies of all his important documents and can retrieve it whenever required."

He added that uploading certificates like those related to birth, marriage, income and caste certificates on the e-locker will ensure that there is no need to carry them in physical format when they are needed for educational or job purpose.
