Cyberabad police launches new digital portal for easy permission requests

Hyderabad: The Cyberabad Police, in partnership with the National Informatics Centre (NIC), has launched the Cyberabad Police Permission Management System (CPPMS)—a web portal aimed at digitising police services and improving the efficiency of permission approvals.

The new system replaces the manual process, reducing delays and ensuring faster, more transparent services for the public.

The initiative reflects the Cyberabad Police’s commitment to using technology for better service delivery, increasing accountability and transparency and offering hassle-free citizen services.

The key features and benefits of CPPMS are:

Re-engineering of the process: Till now all types of police permissions were being issued manually. The re-engineering will now be done by a delegation from various categories for the convenience of the public.

One-stop permission platform: All event-related permissions can be applied through a single online portal, eliminating the need to approach multiple offices. Event organisers are required to apply at least 10 days or seven working days in advance to ensure smooth processing. Permission also will be given on a time-bound basis.

Automated approval process: In case of delays, applications are automatically forwarded to higher officials, ensuring there are no unnecessary holdups. The portal provides detailed information on past events, venue capacities, and other key details, making event planning more efficient.

Real-time tracking and transparent services: Applicants can track the status of their applications in real time, with all processes being highly secure and transparent. The portal supports online fee payments via net banking. Users can verify whether venues have necessary permissions such as fire safety, ambulance services, and CCTV cameras.

Handling rule violations: Violations at non-ticketed events can be reported, and the police will take strict action, including restricting future permissions if necessary. The discrepancy between the number of permitted tickets and the actual number released will be addressed.

Types of permissions available

In the process of digitisation, the CPPMS web portal now be used for granting of following permissions online from Friday and within three months all other permissions will be included in the CPPM web portal.
