WhatsApp could soon become a single-stop destination to access your official documents in India

WhatsApp could soon become a single-stop destination to access your official documents in India.

Government of India’s WhatsApp chatbot launched last year to get information about Covid-19 vaccination slots and other information including certificates for the same.

Now, it appears that GOI is capitalising on the ease of access offered by its official chatbot.

What does this new WhatsApp capability mean?

Quite simply, no more going to confusing government websites to download digital copies of your official documents. Every thing including your driving licence, income tax certificate, and even PAN card would become instantly available for Indian citizens.

A report by Economic Times cited government officials as saying that the pilot testing for the project is already underway, with an imminent launch in the coming weeks.
