The project, which is being carried out under the Indian government's National e-Government Programme (NeGP), was launched on a pilot basis with a comprehensive online portal to enable e-filing.
The MCA-21 programme is being executed by the Ministry of Company Affairs in partnership with TCS on a BOOT (Build, Operate, Own, Transfer) model. Under the terms of the agreement, TCS will be responsible for designing and implementing the project and will then own, operate and maintain the system for a period of six years after successful roll-out at all sites.
Within the next two months, TCS aims for the MCA-21 project to be launched nationwide across 20 offices of the Registrar of Companies, including New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata and Hyderabad.
TCS claims that the system is secure and has a good deal of redundancy built in to make sure that services are continuously available 24/7. To take care of any contingencies, there is a separate and fully functional disaster recovery system being implemented along with the primary data centre. In the event of a man-made or natural disaster, the system is designed to switch over to the disaster recovery system within 12 hours.
