The Kerala State Right to Service Bill piloted in the Kerala Assembly  yesterday. Its a land mark legislation.  It is expected to pass the bill on 22nd July, 2012. At present 13 services are come under the purview of the bill. To read the bill, please click here.

The services now included in the bill are:

Birth Certificate, Caste Certificate, Income Certificate, Ration Cards, Residence Certificates, Death Certificates, Electricity connection to house and shops, Water Connection, passport verification report, employment verification certificate etc.

Government is planning to introduce more services under the purview of this bill. Since penalty clause is included in the bill @ Rs.250/- per day (maximum Rs.5,000/), this may alert Government Employees.

Let us wait whether this will bring any change in the attitude of Kerala State Employees.
