The Maharashtra Government on Monday approved the option of sending disciplinary proceeding documents by e-mail and WhatsApp to concerned employees, pointing out gaps in traditional methods of delivering such documents in time, reported the PTI.

Electronic methods like e-mail and WhatsApp may be used for quicker delivery and acknowledgement, reads a Government Resolution (GR).

It said documents regarding disciplinary proceedings may be sent to the official email ID of the employees concerned. The concerned employee should confirm receipt via the same medium, as per the PTI.
