Police in Maharashtra’s Thane district have registered a case against two proprietors of an e-seva kendra for allegedly forging official documents, including income certificates, and engaging in fraudulent activities, according to PTI reports.

E-seva kendras are digital service centres where citizens can access a range of government services, such as applying for permits, obtaining certificates, paying taxes, and retrieving official information. These centres play a crucial role in facilitating administrative procedures for the public. However, the accused individuals, who operated one such centre in Kalyan, allegedly exploited the system by issuing counterfeit documents, violating legal protocols, and misleading the recipients regarding the authenticity of the papers, an official from Kolsewadi police station stated.
