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What are other such outdated and ill-conceived rules, regulations or practices that hinder the normal day to day lived experience of the people?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.

I worked as Senior Project Architect in Ministry of Defense Engineering Services Oman for 10 years. Done lot of technical projects there. I wish to work some good projects for our government. I tried to get register in government sector but its tedious procedure. At least one project I want to design for our country. Hope I will get a chance.

Sir, When we apply for a service/ certificate, if we can get a receipt and if there is a TIME LIMIT for getting the work done, and if people can apply online,and can track it online, that would be great. Now, after applying, people have to keep on visiting the offices till the work is done.Some times it takes more than an year.

I want to draw attention of the concerned authorities towards child care leave rule.As far as I know ccl can be taken by a female employee for maximum 2 years for her 2 children of age below 18 years. As I am a school teacher of west bengal government and as our government is also allowing ccl having same rule as that of central,we teachers are suffering from excessive burden of periods as employees who have one children of age say 16 years now and taking unnecessary benifit of 2 years ccl.

हमारे देश में gst वहुत अच्छी टैक्स व्यवस्था है परंतु
अभी भी टैक्स चोरी नही रूकी है कारण सबसे छोटा व्यापारी को gst सिस्टम मैनेज करने के लिये लेपटाप computer चाहिए मुनीम चहिये बकील Ca चहिये
इसलिए 90 प्रतिशत व्यापारी gst नही चाहता और वह टैक्स चोरी का माल खरीद ता है जो की बडी बडी कंपनी देती है और ये माल सस्ता होता है gst रिटर्न न डालने के कारण उपर कंपनी का आकडा नही जाता इसलिए छोटे व्यापारियों को टैक्स मुक्त कर सिर्फ रिटर्न डलवाये रिटर्न न डालने पर दंड दे खरवो रूपय की टैक्स चोरी रूकेगी

Too much Democracy is damaging our country. Scrap local level elections such as Nagar Palikas, panchayat, etc. People only fight in these places. No one cares for the public around. Also people are least interested in these elections. I am sure 80% of the public don't know there corporators. Or for that matter responsibilities of a corporator.

Let the state gov take over these institutions. It will increase productivity, save time and money and better co ordination.

in view of increasing number of vehicles on road in every city, there should be a check on further congestion of vehicles.
Each address shall have a maximum number of vehicle that he or she can buy.
Also we are giving road tax to RTO at the time of purchase of vehicle. So why not give responsibility of dvelopment and maintenance of city roads to RTO.
