‘National Portal for Transgender Persons’ was recently launched.
Launched by: Ministry for Social Justice & Empowerment
Key takeaways
National Portal for Transgender Persons was developed after the Notification of Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Rules, 2020 was released.
This Portal would help a transgender person in applying for a Certificate and Identity card digitally from anywhere in the country.
The most important benefit is that it helps the transgender person to get the I-Card without any physical interface and without having to visit any office.
Through the Portal, they can monitor the status of their application that ensures transparency in the process.
