NEW DELHI: A national online portal to help members of the transgender community in applying for an identity card. The portal was launched on November 25, by Thaawarchand Gehlot, Minister, Social Justice and Empowerment. The applicants can get their I-cards without having to visit any office. Certificates and I-cards, after getting issued, can be downloaded from the portal itself.
Gehlot said, “Through the portal, applicants can monitor the status of their application,” which he added will ensure transparency in the process. He remarked that the issuing authorities are under strict timelines to process the applications and issue certificates and identity cards without any necessary delays. The applicants will also have the option to submit grievances through the portal if any delay or rejection occurs. Gehlot said that he hopes that this portal will help a lot of people from the transgender community to come forward and get certificates and I-cards as per their self-perceived identity, which is an important provision of the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019.
