From land record registration to registering a new birth to getting an affidavit for income, Gujaratis do it all the e-way. Gujarat has recorded 8.80 crore e-transactions in the said period in the standard services provided under state government projects. Andhra Pradesh comes second with 7.87 crore e-transactions.
According to eTaal (Electronic Transaction Aggregation and Analysis Layer), land record registration, utility services and bill payment are the top three services in the state. The Union government recorded 10.23 crore e-transactions in the same period. Health, postal services and telecommunications contribute the maximum to central government e-transactions.
The state, which ranked eighth last year, has improved its ranking seemingly suddenly. But, a senior state IT department said, "It's not that the transactions have increased overnight. We have developed a system to link all transactions on the portal which has resulted in the spurt."
Even in terms of providing e-services across the counter, Gujarat tops the list with over 50 per cent e-transactions of the total 10.18 crore recorded under this category.
