One of the important endeavors of the present government has been to improve the 'Ease of Living'. In simple words, this means that the citizen-government interface, in matters of daily routine, must be made as seamless as possible and as citizen friendly as possible. Among other things, this has translated into reforming many rules and regulations and in an overwhelming number of cases completely doing away with such antediluvian rules which had not only outlived their utility, but in many cases were frankly anti-people. The mandate has been clear - between the citizens and the governments, the rules and processes must defer to ensuring the ease of living of citizens.

Consider for example the earlier rule of seeking gazetted officers attestation to validate one's documents before appearing in exams. That rule is now history. Trusting the citizens was the mandate and self-attestation is now the new rule. Or consider the move to scrap interviews for non-gazetted Group D, C and B government jobs. In one stroke the entire industry of 'recommendations' has been shut down and pure merit has become the norm.

What are other such outdated and ill-conceived rules, regulations or practices that hinder the normal day to day lived experience of the people? In day-to-day governance issues what are the processes or system that can be simplified or simply done away with? Which are processes that serve the exact opposite purpose they are intended to serve? Rules, regulations and laws that serve no useful social purpose but merely create unnecessary red tape and bureaucracy and therefore need to go?

MyGov invites citizens, members of civil society, journalists, students, teachers, police officers, government employees, Parliamentarians, academics experts, bureaucrats, social media influencers, Think Tanks and all other interested people to give their considered view on the subject.

while submitting IT returns most of the common people doesn't want to pay fee to the auditor. Government should employ or keep an IT extension office at Tahshils to submit their regular returns on free of cost to ease the IT procedure. Same time every individual who is obtaining PAN should be given a booklet of details of IT. which may increase the tax assessies.

Police verification for issuance of passports involving visit by the police to the citizens home as also requiring visit of the citizen to the police and submission of documents to be done away with. The passport office should communicate directly online with the requisite police and obtain e-clearance on absence of criminal record in the name of the applicant before issuing passport.

All major cities to mandate hawking zones in each locality to ensure that footpaths and roads are set free for pedestrians and vehicles respectively. No parking to be mandated and monitored rigorously on all key roads in major cities.

eGoverance is very useful all citizens irrespective of race, language, status, caste, etc but it is very slow. For example State Government of Tamil Nadu implemented issuance of eCertificates but it gets delayed to get the eCertificate like income certificate. I know one applicant submitted application on June 20, 2018 but still after 13 days it is not yet issued. Time limit should be implemented to issue eCertificates by State Government Authorities. SMS & eMail Notifications should be issued
