Evidence (2015-03-25): Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi launched today his ambitious multi-purpose and multi-modal platform PRAGATI (Pro-Active Governance And Timely Implementation). PRAGATI is a unique integrating and interactive platform. The platform is aimed at addressing common man’s grievances, and simultaneously monitoring and reviewing important programmes and projects of the Government of India as well as projects flagged by State Governments. [...] Immediately after assuming office, the Prime Minister had shown his keenness to design a credible mechanism for redressal of Public Grievances. He was equally keen to see that programmes and projects launched by the Central and State Government(s) are monitored properly for timely implementation and desired outcome. With that spirit and for holistic development of the country, it was also felt necessary to facilitate from the Union Government level the projects of the States. Accordingly, with the three objectives of: Grievance Redressal, Programme Implementation and Project Monitoring, an IT-based redressal and monitoring system has been designed. It will combine Data Management and Analysis, Geo-spatial Applications as well as Video-conferencing.

[...] • The system will ride on, strengthen and re-engineer the data bases of the CPGRAMS for grievances, Project Monitoring Group (PMG) and the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation.

Evidence (2021-11-17): Many cases like this indicate that the system is being mocked/cheated and gullible customers are harassed, misdirected as entities have no fear of getting punished by the regulator [the Enforcement Department (RBI), DoS (RBI)] who do not look at them if directly received from consumers. CEPD, RBI earlier used to forward cases to BO now under centralized set us its role is not clear. CPGRAMS channel of grievance redressal ultimately operates through cms.CEPD (nobody will spend time to reach the channel of a civil suit or PIL). These grievances will continue. [...] Such matters should be actively taken up by consumer organizations with EFD (RBI) as Integrated Ombudsman, CPGRAMS (ultimately operates through cms-CEPD), as individuals cannot spend inordinate time, money on PILs and waste the time of judicial machinery on this. [...] CPGRAMS (GoI portal) is a faster mechanism than Ombudsman as a normal decision is received within 10 days (actually cms. CEPD (RBI) coordinates the matter) and may continue to be faster in the redressal of individual’s grievances even under Integrated Ombudsman regime

Evidence (2022-08-16): Besides the disgraced and unconstitutional collegium system, there have been several disparate cases which bring home the judicial lack of accountability. In recent times, it is clearly brought out by the Centre’s information to the Parliament that over 1,600 complaints were received in the Centralised Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS) on the functioning of the judiciary, including judicial corruption, between 2016 and 2021 (PTI, 2021). The mechanism of addressing these complaints against the judiciary is also highly vague. Such complaints are addressed by the judiciary itself through an "in-house mechanism" where the complaints are forwarded to the respective Chief Justices of the High Courts or the Supreme Court. This ‘in-house mechanism’ was created in 1997, wherein the assumption is that the Chief Justice of India or of the respective High Courts are competent to receive complaints against the conduct of judges of the Supreme Court, the Chief Justices of the High Courts and judges of the High Courts.
