A baby born. Parents went to an office. His/her name enrolled and thats it. Birth certificate will come by post. All updated documents like photo identification card, PAN card, Driving licence etc. can be availed from the same counter/s. A person wants to start business. All sorts of permission, no objection certificates, tax regd. etc. can be availed from the same counter/s. How much you want to pay to govt. in different heads starting from electricity, phone, income tax, property tax, sales tax, this tax, that tax, all can be paid in same counter/s. I mean each and every monetary transactions to different heads of govt. shall be Handled from single window. All these are possible. By this at least a person will not be defaulter just because he is not aware of this fact. In many cases its found that you have 10 papers in your hand but because of not having the 11th paper you are a defaulter. I dont understand, in the age of PCs, why cant a govt go for single window system for each and every requirements of the citizen.

I think that the reason it requires more than one office, clerk, counter,is that each has it's own regulations and requirements. That and someone having to sort through which money goes to which office, and sorting through the printed out paperwork for each, at the end of the day could be a bit overwhelming. Goodness knows there are enough screw up with an individual company. If someone stuck the wrong paper on the wrong stack the consumer would have a bigger headache. I paid, I have a reciept. We can't find it, so you still owe. Oh my goodness. I've seen it happen with credit card companies. And if you pay the second time and they do finally find the initial payment there is always some excuse why they can't/won't return the money. Let's not forget, computers are only as smart as the programmer. The parts house shows this part number for the vehicle application. It's wrong. Well, whomever documented the information into the system is the one at fault but that won't get me the correct part required. Yes, it's exasperating. I fear it would be more so with a single office trying to handle everything.
