National Legal Metrology Portal (eMaap) is being developed by Department of Consumer Affairs, Government of India.
It is being developed for ensuring fair trade, consumer protection and a centralized database of all stakeholders.
The Department of Consumer Affairs is developing eMaap to integrate State Legal Metrology Departments and their portals into a unified National System.
eMaap eliminates the need for stakeholders to register on multiple State Portals.
eMaap will foster ease of doing business and transparency in trade practices.
As of now, State Governments use own portals for registration of packaged commodities.
They also use their own portals for issue of licenses and verification of weighing & measuring instrument.
Enforcement and compounding of offences are not online.
eMaap will include all functions of Legal Metrology including enforcement.
eMaap simplifies issuing, renewing, and amending licenses, handling verification and stamping of weighing & measuring instruments, registration certificates, and appeals, etc.
