The process of physical Police verification is soon to be demolished as the Government is heading towards the digitalization. The Government of India is planning to connect the services with a strong national database of crimes and criminals that will give the details of applicants with a single click of the mouse.

Rajiv Mehrishi, Union Home Secretary derived that the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems Project (CCTNS) is likely to link to the passport service of Ministry of External Affairs and it will lead to the replacement of physical police verification for applications of passports. Adding on, he said that hopefully it could be turned into online verification within a year.

While talking about the safety of the database, Home Secretary said addressed that the possibility of hacking is always there but there will be safeguards as the National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Centre has been appointed for the task.

Singh said the CCTNS project will help in realising the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's dream of 'Minimum Government Maximum Governance'.
