The use of electronic signatures in the government sector is aimed at reducing the time and paperwork associated with varied processes, such as submission of information documents. This has helped government agencies quicken their work and bring process transparency and improved staff productivity.
Several countries, including the US, the EU nations, India, China, Brazil, Peru, Turkey, are promoting electronic signatures through necessary statutory enactments.
