Recently an agreement was signed between the World
Bank and Indian government that granted a loan of $150 million to
India for the e-delivery of public services in India. As a condition
precedent to get the benefits of such loan, electronic
services delivery in India has been proposed in the past.
However, e-delivery
of public services in India would still take few years as
we have no legal
framework for mandatory e-governance in India.
The proposed e-delivery of public services development policy loan of India has to be utilised through a policy and legislative framework that Indian government must establish very soon. The e-delivery of public services development policy loan (DPL) project of India would fail to take effect if either the electronic services delivery policy of India is not formulated or it is not implemented in a manner that confers mandatory e-governance services in India upon Indian citizens. In short, there should be a legal framework for e-governance in India that provides e-governance services to Indian citizens as a matter of right.
