Digital Locker- A study on the Paperless Future

Abstract

The government plans a major expansion of the Digital Locker project to push its agenda of a paperless administration. The Digital Locker is an online repository of certificates and important documents such as driving licences and Aadhaar numbers that can be authenticated in real time. The facility is being used by about 9 million people. The ministry of electronics and FT is now on a drive to get more government departments and states to ensure that certificates issued by them are sent directly to accounts in the repository, according to a top official.
