The BoT model is a public- private partnership model. Both G2C and B2C services will be offered through the kiosks. Prices for G2C services are mandated by the state government. For example, the fee citizens pay for a copy of their land records Certificate is Rs.15 (approx. US$.33). Prices for B2C services will be established based on consultations between Comat and private service offerers.
Services delivered through the RBCs, comprising more than 30 government processes, include copies of land records, approval of old age pension for senior citizens, issue of caste certificates, issue of income certificates, etc.
