Arms Licence Renewals in 15 Days, FIR Copies Instantly: Haryana Notifies Timelines The Haryana government has introduced fixed timelines for 33 services under the home department as part of the Haryana Right to Service Act, 2014.
This move aims to enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency in public service delivery. Citizens can now expect time-bound processing for various permissions, verifications, licences, and certificates.
Among the newly notified timelines, arms licence renewals will be completed within 15 days if applications are submitted within the same district before the licence expires.
Police verification for licence renewal, required after the six-year verification cycle, will take no longer than 22 days.
Immediate services include the issuance of copies of First Information Reports (FIRs) and Daily Diary Reports (DDRs), which will be provided instantly or through online platforms. Several other services have been categorized under specific deadlines.
For instance, the addition or deletion of weapons in an arms licence, extension of the period for purchasing a weapon, and permissions for protests, rallies, public programmes, and cultural events must be completed within seven days.
Key services under a five-day timeline include the extension of residential permits for foreigners, permission for the use of loudspeakers, issuance of No Objection Certificates (NOCs) for fairs, exhibitions, and sports events, stranger verification, and NOCs for old vehicles.
