Since India’s financial system went online, the government has made it much easier to manage and track important documents. This also reduces the risk of your documents being lost or stolen.
DigiLocker is a new and useful digital platform launched by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology under the Digital India Corporation. This initiative is transforming the process of document management.
It is a reliable digital locker that eliminates the reliance on physical documents and facilitates the easy sharing of e-documents between government institutions. DigiLocker uses a secure online verification system to maintain the authenticity of documents.
