Introduction

The eGovernments Foundation has developed the Fire NOC application on its DIGIT platform.

The application makes the process of obtaining a Fire No Objection Certificate (NOC) easy, smooth and transparent. It eliminates the current manual process by automating and streamlining it, thus providing a better citizen service experience with the Urban Local Body (ULB) employees. The application enables:

ULB employees to request for and get Fire NOCs online, on behalf of citizens for their properties
ULB employees to issue the NOC in an efficient and transparent manner
ULB employees to request online for provisional (pre-construction) and new (post-construction) NOCs on behalf of citizens

User Function Mapping

Role-Action Matrix

Action	Role Involved
Initiate Fire NOC application: The first step in the workflow is to initiate entering details in the Fire NOC application form, online. The online application form is filled in by the ULB employee manning the NOC counter, on behalf of the citizen.	NOC Counter Employee
Submit application: After entering all required details, the counter employee saves and submits the application in the system.	NOC Counter Employee
Collect Payment: On submitting the form, the applicant has to pay the application fees. Counter employees collect the fire NOC application fees in cash, by cheque, or by debit/credit card payment and record the same in the system.	NOC Counter Employee
Verify and Forward or Reject: The application form is deemed submitted only after the fees are collected. On submit, the system then moves the application form and assigns the task to a Licensing Clerk (a ULB employee) who verifies the form information and supporting documents. If the information and supporting documents are correct, the clerk forwards the application to the Licensing Inspector for a field inspection. If the information is incorrect or if there is any discrepancy in supporting documents, the clerk rejects the NOC application.	Licensing Clerk
Approve: After Licensing Inspectors receive the application, they visit the property location and physically verify and corroborate the information provided in the application form. They also inspect the property to verify that it complies with all recommended safety precautions, rules, and regulations. This is an offline process. If the property passes the inspection, the licensing inspector forwards the application to the Licensing Officer for approval. The Licensing Officer is the final authority to grant the fire NOC. The officer checks the inspection report and all documents submitted in the previous workflow stages and either approves or rejects the request. Citizens receive a copy of the fire NOC after the officer approves the request.	Licensing Officer
Reject: The NOC application can be rejected by the: Licensing Clerk - if the information or supporting documents are incorrect Licensing Inspector - if there is any deficiency at the physical location Licensing Officer - if there is any deficiency at any point in the earlier stages Once an application is rejected, it cannot be processed further. Citizens are not allowed to re-apply for a NOC with the same application.	Licensing Clerk Licensing Inspector Licensing Officer
Send Back: The licensing officer or inspector can send the form back to the previous stage of the workflow with comments. The assignee of that stage has to take appropriate action and re-start the process.	Licensing Officer Licensing Inspector
Refer for Opinion: The licensing clerk or inspector can send the application to any role in the workflow for their comments.	Licensing Clerk Licensing Inspector
