Data reference table
Evidence Snapshot
Read each value with its reporting period, population and limitations. A historical national reference is not a local baseline or proof that an IFT proposal works.
8 source-linked reference records. Publication checks do not independently reproduce the underlying data.
| Signal | Reference Value | Period / Population | How to Read It | Source Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New grievances received on CPGRAMS | 26,15,321 grievances Historical reference | January–December 2024 CPGRAMS portal; India administrative reporting | Annual new receipts shown in Annex 1 of the official answer. Limitations: A portal count excludes problems not reported through that route. It is not prevalence of governance failure and should not be compared with disposals as if both represent one new-case cohort. | Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions / DARPG Official government parliamentary release Parliament question: Disposal rate of grievance redressal mechanism Published: 2025-04-02 Publication checked: 2026-11-04 Value, period and coverage checked in publication |
| Grievances disposed on CPGRAMS | 26,45,869 grievances Historical reference | January–December 2024 CPGRAMS portal; India administrative reporting | Annual disposals include work on a stock of complaints, not only that year’s new receipts. Limitations: Disposal does not prove satisfaction, service repair or prevention of recurrence. Do not derive a new-complaint success rate from receipts and disposals with different case cohorts. | Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions / DARPG Official government parliamentary release Parliament question: Disposal rate of grievance redressal mechanism Published: 2025-04-02 Publication checked: 2026-11-04 Value, period and coverage checked in publication |
| Reported average grievance redressal timeline | 15 days Historical reference | February 2025 CPGRAMS; government-reported average redressal timeline | A reported average for the stated month can be a historical process reference. Limitations: The release does not provide a full waiting-time distribution or an unresolved-case age profile. An average does not establish satisfactory remedy or equal treatment across groups. | Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions / DARPG Official government parliamentary release Parliament question: Disposal rate of grievance redressal mechanism Published: 2025-04-02 Publication checked: 2026-11-04 Value, period and coverage checked in publication |
| Grievance officers mapped on CPGRAMS | 1,03,183 officers Historical reference | Reported 2 April 2025; officer-count cut-off not separately stated CPGRAMS officer mapping reported in the parliamentary release | A registration or mapping input count for the grievance system. Limitations: Not a verified active staffing, competence, caseload or accountability measure. Do not infer a staffing snapshot date beyond what the release states. | Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions / DARPG Official government parliamentary release Parliament question: Disposal rate of grievance redressal mechanism Published: 2025-04-02 Publication checked: 2026-11-04 Value, period and coverage checked in publication |
| Pending Government of India public grievances | 59,946 grievances Historical reference | As at 28 February 2025 Government of India pendency reported for CPGRAMS | A point-in-time backlog reference distinct from annual receipt or disposal flows. Limitations: Backlog count alone omits complaint severity, age, repeat complaints and quality of remedy; it is not a measure of all state or local service failures. | Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions / DARPG Official government parliamentary release Parliament question: Disposal rate of grievance redressal mechanism Published: 2025-04-02 Publication checked: 2026-11-04 Value, period and coverage checked in publication |
| Pending court cases settled/disposed in National Lok Adalats | 1,75,07,060 cases Historical reference | Calendar year 2024 India; National Lok Adalats; pending-case category | Keeps pending court cases separate from pre-litigation matters. Limitations: Administrative counts are not unique people, trial judgments or proof of fairness, voluntary settlement quality or durable compliance. This is not total court disposal. | Ministry of Law and Justice; NALSA figures Official government parliamentary release Cases resolved through alternative dispute resolution mechanisms Published: 2026-01-29 Publication checked: 2026-11-04 Value, period and coverage checked in publication |
| Pre-litigation matters settled/disposed in National Lok Adalats | 8,70,19,059 matters Historical reference | Calendar year 2024 India; National Lok Adalats; pre-litigation category | Shows the separately reported pre-litigation component. Limitations: These matters were not necessarily pending court cases. Do not describe them all as court backlog removed or combine them with court-case counts without explaining the categories. | Ministry of Law and Justice; NALSA figures Official government parliamentary release Cases resolved through alternative dispute resolution mechanisms Published: 2026-01-29 Publication checked: 2026-11-04 Value, period and coverage checked in publication |
| Commercial pre-institution mediation applications where parties reached settlement | 877 applications Historical reference | FY 2024–25 India; reported PIMS commercial-dispute applications | A narrower mediation reference than all legal disputes. Limitations: The publication also reports 59, 568 applications received and 52, 730 non-starters in the period. These are not established same-cohort outcomes, so no settlement rate is calculated here. Does not cover all mediation or arbitration. | Ministry of Law and Justice; NALSA figures Official government parliamentary release Cases resolved through alternative dispute resolution mechanisms Published: 2026-01-29 Publication checked: 2026-11-04 Value, period and coverage checked in publication |

What must be checked
Distinguish allegations from verified findings and preserve fair appeal.
Public asset maintenance register
Connect an asset’s condition, maintenance owner, budget and repair history.

Questions about Governance, Justice & Safety
What does an understandable public-service journey look like?
People should be able to identify the responsible office, required information, expected process, decision and correction route. Study the journey as users experience it.
How should a complaint be recorded?
Record the issue, safe location, date, service stage, supporting evidence and requested correction. Keep an allegation separate from a verified finding.
Why study access to justice beyond case numbers?
Distance, cost, delay, language and assistance can affect whether a person can use a remedy. Review the full journey without offering individual legal conclusions.
What makes a service failure traceable?
Link each step to a responsible actor, dated record and reason for the decision. Identify where a request stopped and who must respond next.
How can complex procedures be improved?
Study unnecessary steps, repeated document requests, unclear instructions and avoidable visits. Test a simpler process while preserving legitimate checks and assistance.
Should a digital portal replace every assisted service?
No single channel is assumed suitable for everyone. Compare device access, language, disability needs, reliability and help options alongside the online process.
How should local evidence be verified?
Compare official records, field observations and affected people’s accounts. Record disagreement, missing information and alternative explanations before confirming a cause.
What should be public in an accountability record?
Explain responsibilities, decisions, progress and corrections at a safe level. Do not expose identities, personal records or unverified accusations merely to show transparency.
How should appeals and corrections be designed?
Make the receiving authority, evidence requirements and review process understandable. The proposed system should record reasons, follow-up and unresolved issues.
What shows that governance has improved?
Measure whether people receive usable services and fair responses with less avoidable delay, cost or exclusion. Activity counts should support, not replace, outcome evidence.
