Indian Railways Reservation System
Till early 90s the train reservation system was manual. The issues faced by citizens were
- A normal citizen was expected to come to a particular counter to book a reservation
- Return reservation was a big challenge
- The confirmation of the seat was not possible instantly
- Speed money was very common to get a reservation due to non-transparency
Re-engineering the reservation gave citizen convenience as compared to earlier process
- Passengers can book any train from any booking location
- Information regarding the availability of seats is easily available
- Reservations can be made through website – a transparent system
- Railway Call Centre supported by Interactive Voice response System
Passport
Passport issuance to citizens was a very long process and the original system of passport issuance or renewal had issues like
- Queue Management system – Time taken for submission of the application was more than 2 hrs. Unclear guidelines and lack of awareness among applicants. Less number of counters for accepting applications. Seating arrangements not based on the number
- of transactions. Space constraints in the offices
- Infrastructure and public utilities – “Need for overall improvement in the public utilities such as Water, Canteen, Toilets, Seating arrangements etc.”
- Variations in service levels – Different service levels for processing applications
- Delay due to Police Verification Process – “Manual procedures for sending the applications for police verification leading to delay in the overall procedure”
A BPR exercise was carried out and the revised processes which were implemented, were
- Outsourcing of the front-end activities (Facilitation Centers) of the passport issuance system – No citizen needs to visit the back-office (i.e. the RPOs). Outsourcing for application submission, data entry, receipt of fees, verification of original documents and enquiry .
- Anywhere Anytime Application submission and real-time status tracking – Online submission, 24×7 through any internet facility (Internet Kiosk, Home). Real-time tracking through centralized system
- Linkage of the Passport office with a designated point at the police department – Auto-segregation of application details for police verification (Adverse and clear flagged separately). Automated update of the PV status- leading to reduction in overall processing. Automated reminder for clearance of pending reports
- Centralized back-office – Centralized printing of the passports for the Missions/Passport offices to control pendency. High quality fast printers for centralized back-office. Printing of e-Passports (Diplomats). Outsourcing of the centralized back-office.
- Exception handling for review / objection cases – Automatic escalation of the objection cases by the system. Objection cases-Police Adverse cases, PAC Check etc.
