This initiative, under the Digital India programme, allows citizens to access, store, and share digitally verified passport records conveniently. The move supports paperless governance, enhances security and authenticity of records, and provides ease of access through both web and mobile platforms, thus reducing reliance on physical documents and streamlining verification processes.
