(a) & (b): The Central Government of India has issued guidelines and circulars, from time to time since 1997, to Ministries/Departments/Organizations and to State Governments and Union Territory Administrations, to prepare Citizens Charters and give them a Wide publicity and display them to the public. In 2005, Sevottam Quality Management System Framework for quality service delivery was prepared by the Central Government in which Citizens Charter is one of the three modules, the other two being Grievance Redress System and Capability Building. Guidelines on Sevottam have been issued from time to time to sensitize Ministries/Departments/Organizations to adopt this framework.

(c): The above guidelines are implemented by Ministries/Departments/Organizations in a decentralized manner. The Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances does not maintain a centralized data base on implementation of the aforesaid guidelines by the Central Ministries/Departments/Organizations.
