President of Delhi BJP and Member of Parliament Manoj Tiwari, while inaugurating the facility, said that the new initiative taken by the Corporation "should strive to deliver maximum possible service online".

"Online issue of trade license would help reduce the scope of corruption and save time on part of the applicants. With inauguration of this facility, traders will be able to receive general trade license through a simple online procedure within 10-15 minutes.

"This can be done by just uploading the required documents and paying requisite payment through online mode," said Tiwari.

Mayor Neema Bhagat informed that the online application for this purpose is available on website of EDMC (www.mcdonline.gov.in).

According to Bhagat, that East Delhi Municipal Corporation's functioning would be digitised completely in coming future and citizens need not run to offices for availing the various stated services.
