| THE Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs in cooperation with the United
Arab Emirates (UAE) is going to implement a web-based attestation procedure for
the benefit of Indian workers going to the UAE for employment. The Web Based
Attestation Procedure will include registration of employers, online filing of
the demand, online receipt of documents from Indian Missions, filing of details
of employees selected and finally the Emigration Clearance of the Protector of
Emigrants (POE). This system will provide access to all data/information related
to the recruitment of Indian Emigrant Workers in the country of destination to
the Indian Mission, the employer, the Protector General of Emigrants (PGE) and
the Protector of Emigrants (POE). Thus, the system will provide a data bank of
the employer, the Indian worker, contract validation, control on recruitment and
grievance redressal and the resolution of labour disputes.
The
Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs has issued an advisory to all Indian
Missions in the 17 Emigration Check Required (ECR) countries to implement Web
