In a presentation at the launch of the portal during the cabinet meeting, Principal Secretary Housing, Saravjit Singh, informed the cabinet that the portal had been developed to bring simplification of business process/work flow into each service without altering the system.
All documents and notings are digitally signed and thumb marked on a biometric device to ensure that work is not passed on to another.

Information on Acts, rules, master plans, tender/auction notices/dues of property owners/property details will all be available through a single website. The software can be easily configured for any new service, any department, as at the core all government processes are similar.
This unique online portal would ensure completely paperless functioning, from application to the final output, in a time-bound manner. Input forms have been carefully designed in a simple format so as to enable an average citizen to understand and fill it.
