Once comes into force, this web-enabled software will help applicants to apply online and also make payments of various fees through the payment gateway.
The ministry also said that it has put in place specialised software called Satellite Television Channels Application Tracking System (STATS) for those who have already applied to the ministry for various permissions. An ID and password have been given to all of them to track the status of their pending applications, MIB said in a public notice.
