National e-service rule in pipeline
The government will form National e-Service Rule-2013 to bring the electronic service (e-service) delivery system under legal framework and ensure safety of public services.
The move came as part of the government efforts to develop around 25,000 web portals for government offices to provide e-services and introduce digital signature, said a top official of the ICT ministry.
He said a firm legal framework and a dependable technical structure are necessary as per the ICT Act-2006 and the ICT-2009 that have allowed introduction of digital signature for e-service delivery.
Fine-tuning of the web portals is going on and the government will soon launch digital signature for e-governance, said ICT Secretary Nazrul Islam Khan.
It has become inevitable to bring e-service delivery system under legal framework, he said.
Khan said the rule is required, as the government may on its own or its authorised agency start delivering public services through electronically enabled kiosks or other electronic service delivery mechanism.
"The draft of the proposed National e-Service Rule-2013 is now at the final stage and hopefully the rule will come into being by the end of July."
