How many services are delivered online through the e-FRRO platform?
- A.12
- B.25
- C.35
- D.50
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 35. The Ministry of Home Affairs said that thirty-five online services are offered through the e-FRRO platform, covering registration, visa extension, visa conversion and other eligible immigration-related services, so that foreigners can complete routine formalities without going to an office. Option A is wrong because twelve is far below the number stated, and the platform covers a much wider menu of consular and immigration tasks. Option B is wrong because twenty-five is also short of the figure given. Option D is wrong because fifty overstates it. The purpose of the platform matches the wider aim of the FRRO expansion: easier access for visitors who come for tourism, medical treatment and education, better regulatory compliance, and firmer enforcement of immigration law and national security requirements.
