Centralization of issuance of CDCs at the office of Shipping Master, Mumbai
Background
Government of India has initiated E-Governance programme to accelerate the facilitation of Govt. services by using Information Technology. Accordingly, this Directorate, under e-governance programme, has made provisions for quicker processing and delivery of services. A web-site of the Directorate has been in operation for some time for dissemination of public information and interactive modules under e-governance are also been set up.
It has been the endeavor of this Directorate to bring-in, all the functions which require issuance of any trade licenses, CoC or CDCs etc. under the e-governance system so that, among other benefits, human interaction is reduced & transparency in functioning is improved.
Existing procedure for submission of application for CDC.
- Presently, the CDCs are being issued to an applicant, who submits his application along with requisite documents, through post, to the offices of the Shipping Masters (SM), Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. Their applications are processed at the respective offices of SM and CDCs are forwarded to eligible candidates by post.
- In the office of SM, Mumbai, CDCs applications for candidates under going pre-sea training, are processed through training Institutes which submit their applications on line and forwards supporting document by post. Applications received “on line” are processed and CDCs for all eligible candidates are forwarded to respective training Institute batch wise for further delivery to candidates on successful completion of their pre-sea training. Whereas, “on line” submission of applications by training Institutes is not functional as yet at the office of SM, Kolkata and Chennai, where all CDCs applications are received by post only.
Now, therefore, considering the need to move to a computerized system & to utilize its benefits for good governance, it is decided, in exercise of powers conferred by Clause (1) of Section 456 of Merchant Shipping Act, 1958 on the Central Government, read with notification issued by Government of India vide S.O.
