AbstractObjectiveThis study aims to explore the integration of blockchain technology in India's e-governance framework, assessing its effectiveness in enhancing transparency, security, and service delivery. The purpose of this study is to provide an alternate method to already existing system of using digitized service through a Block chain model for storing retrieving and securing digital data.MethodologyThe research follows a mixed-methods approach. Qualitative data was collected through case study analysis of existing blockchain-based initiatives (e.g., land records, digital locker). Quantitative data was obtained from secondary sources, including government reports and digital governance indices, analyzed usingKey FindingsThe ndings reveal that blockchain adoption leads to increased data integrity, faster processing times, and reduced administrative corruption. Blockchain-based systems outperformed traditional systems on metrics such as user satisfaction, service uptime, and data immutability.ImplicationsBlockchain offers a transformative opportunity for India's digital public infrastructure, though challenges remain in scalability, regulatory compliance, and technical expertise. The study supports policy reforms for wider implementation.ConclusionIntegrating blockchain into e-governance initiatives strengthens digital trust, improves operational efficiency, and aligns with India's vision of Digital India. Further research is recommended to evaluate the long-term sustainability and scalability of these technologies.
