Pay your monthly bills and do much more online
Think the monthly electricity or telephone bill payment and the first thing that comes to your mind is the long, never ending queue and the consequent anger directed at the person sitting on the other side of the window. The very mention of a visit to a public office is enough to wipe a smile off of anyone's face, especially for those who don't happen to know the right people in the right places. Chandigarh residents can now say adieus to the much dreaded Indian red-tape with Chandigarh Administration's official website that not only allows you to pay your monthly bills online but do much more with the click of a mouse. Welcome to e-governance!
The website www.chandigarh.nic.in covers various aspects of the services and departments of the Chandigarh administration and provides extensive information on each. Information on the website is segregated into Administration, About Chandigarh, Departments and How To sections. Under the Administration section the portal elaborates upon the city's administrative structure, information on the Heads of departments, Public Information Officers and more. The Chandigarh section contains general information, history, maps, health, tourism, culture and education related information about the city. Each department related information and their official websites are also mentioned.
One click of the mouse and you can get important telephone numbers for all departments, Acts/notifications, Tenders/Quotations, citizens charters that you couldn't get after countless visits to the government offices . All important departments like Municipal Corporation, Estate Office, Police, Information Technology, Education,Health, Sports, Transport etc. are covered under the website. The website is a welcome relief as it not only provides information but also educates you about your rights as citizens of Chandigarh.

 I was very pleased with the work performed by RedAlkemi. Kulwant is an excellent Project Manager, and the discussion board was a good tool to keep me informed about the progress. The design team provided some really appropriate fresh & creative ideas. They also listened carefully to my comments and reflected all of them in the finished product. Thanks."
