One of the important endeavors of the present government has been to improve the 'Ease of Living'. In simple words, this means that the citizen-government interface, in matters of daily routine, must be made as seamless as possible and as citizen friendly as possible. Among other things, this has translated into reforming many rules and regulations and in an overwhelming number of cases completely doing away with such antediluvian rules which had not only outlived their utility, but in many cases were frankly anti-people. The mandate has been clear - between the citizens and the governments, the rules and processes must defer to ensuring the ease of living of citizens.

Consider for example the earlier rule of seeking gazetted officers attestation to validate one's documents before appearing in exams. That rule is now history. Trusting the citizens was the mandate and self-attestation is now the new rule. Or consider the move to scrap interviews for non-gazetted Group D, C and B government jobs. In one stroke the entire industry of 'recommendations' has been shut down and pure merit has become the norm.

What are other such outdated and ill-conceived rules, regulations or practices that hinder the normal day to day lived experience of the people? In day-to-day governance issues what are the processes or system that can be simplified or simply done away with? Which are processes that serve the exact opposite purpose they are intended to serve? Rules, regulations and laws that serve no useful social purpose but merely create unnecessary red tape and bureaucracy and therefore need to go?

MyGov invites citizens, members of civil society, journalists, students, teachers, police officers, government employees, Parliamentarians, academics experts, bureaucrats, social media influencers, Think Tanks and all other interested people to give their considered view on the subject.

I had a not-so-nice experience at the National Museum library 12 years back. I was writing an article on Mehrauli's history for a daily newspaper as a freelance contributor. Wanted some matter for my article. The librarian shooed me out saying that access to books is only given to "coveted" people. Others are not even allowed to take a glimpse at any book. I had my article published but felt a bit bad as an Indian. Can such bureaucratic rules be done away with?

Kudos to the Prime Minister for allowing photography of monuments under The Archaeological Survey of India. Can similar restrictions on visiting or accessing specific monuments be removed as well? For example, many quarters in the Red Fort are not available for public viewing. People should also be allowed to climb the Qutub Minar, in limited numbers and at a cost. My 5-year old daughter for some strange reason is obsessed with the structure and dreams of being atop one day. Will it happen ever?

Why Sir private practitioners who are highly educated still prefer cash to cards while examining the patients? No transparent fool proof methodology still not in existence to catch these white collar people. Kindly examine.

Sir, Plastic and plastic made material banned by the Govt., but instead of this people are using paper made bag i.e thonga/carry bag. But we ever thought how many trees we have to cut to fulfil requirement of thonga. This is also not environment friendly.

Hon'ble PM, The GST department has introduce new grievance portal to post their complaints, but the process of posting complaints further to be simplified. The Helpdesk task team should be trained properly, whereas task team at present is not giving proper answer due to lack of knowledge.

Hon'ble PM, It is indeed to note that tax collection by GST is required to make widen because those who having the banking facilities which are not come into the GST netbanking facilities. Whereas in India there are so many banks operated in Rural and Urban. But GST department is made nominated banks only for the transaction. Henceforth all the banks should bring to GST net. Moreover, the flexible payment mode through Credit/Debit card also required to introduce for digital payment for faster
