In a path-breaking move towards streamlining bureaucratic procedures, Maharashtra state government has sanctioned an entirely online system for the issue of caste certificates and caste validity certificates, vowing to bring an end to the age of long lines and rounds of paperwork. This game-changing move is all poised to transform the delivery of these vital documents to citizens and make it quicker, more transparent, and easier to use.

Pune | June 9, 2025: The new online platform, a joint initiative between Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Research and Training Institute (BARTI) and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), brings with it an integrated, technology-based solution for certificate issuance. .
The intelligent system uses state-of-the-art technology to make the whole process convenient. A digital interface driven by AI navigates candidates through every step, making it easy to use even for individuals with poor digital literacy. The system is integrated with Aadhaar to verify essential information such as name, family, and address automatically, saving candidates from repeated manual submissions. In addition, integration with DigiLocker enables the system to directly fetch required documents, improving speed and reliability. No longer do functions that once consumed months take only hours, a substantial improvement in efficiency.
This transformation is set to help communities in large numbers by streamlining access to certificates that open doors in education, employment, and governance. The electronic system not only cuts on delays but also promises transparency, reducing errors and bureaucratic obstacles. Through the digitization of the process, the government hopes to empower citizens, especially from marginalized communities, to access their rights without the agony of maneuvering old systems.
The state has also announced an aggressive deadline, with all the concerned departments being asked to complete an action plan within the next 100 days. This order emphasizes the government’s resolve to digitalize public services and make citizens’ convenience a top priority. The move is a part of a larger vision of using technology to make governance more accessible and inclusive, and other states have been asked to follow in its footsteps.
As Maharashtra launches this revolutionary system, it holds the promise to revolutionize the relationship between citizen and government, swapping out outdated procedures with a quick, electronic process. For millions of people, this translates into no more tedious trips to government offices or struggle with paperwork—simply a few mouse clicks to obtain a certificate that leads to opportunity. The action not only increases administrative effectiveness but also ratifies the commitment of the state to equal access to resources such that nobody is left behind in the realization of their aspirations and rights.
