Ratlam Collector Orders Strict E-Office Implementation To Prevent File Delays

Ratlam Collector Ajay Katesaria has mandated strict adherence to the e-office system across all government offices in the district. The objective is to enhance transparency, accountability and expedite decision-making processes. Officials are advised to eschew superfluous comments, lengthy note sheets and redundant correspondence that impede file processing.

Each note sheet must succinctly encapsulate pertinent facts, pertinent rules, previous actions and the intended decision. Decision-seeking language should steer clear of ambiguous phrases like "subject to approval" or "subject to acceptance"; instead, proposals should be presented directly for approval or orders.

Departments are cautioned against generating multiple files on the same subject. All related correspondence and decisions must be consolidated into a single e-file, with documents uploaded to designated locations and page references accurately recorded. In financial matters, officials must indicate approval limits, budget provisions and applicable rules. Departments are further instructed to process correspondence digitally and transmit orders and letters directly in PDF format.

The collector emphasized that the e-office system transcends mere digitization of paper files; its primary aim is to augment administrative efficiency, transparency and lucidity in decision-making. All department heads have been directed to ensure stringent compliance and arrange requisite training for officers and employees.
