Govt to launch eMaap portal to ease regulatory burden on traders, enhance transaction transparency, protect consumers

New Delhi: The Department of Consumer Affairs is set to launch a portal to streamline trade processes, ensure consumer protection, and promote transparency in market transactions. The National Legal Metrology Portal is designed to centralise and integrate operations of state legal metrology departments, the department said in a statement on Wednesday. “The eMaap will address these gaps by creating a seamless online system for all aspects of legal metrology, including enforcement, and establish a centralised database for stakeholders like traders, manufacturers, importers, and dealers,” it said. By eliminating the need to navigate multiple state portals, eMaap aims to reduce paperwork, ensure timely compliance with regulations under the Legal Metrology Act, 2009, and promote ease of doing business.
