A Any telecom/BharatNet implementing agency authorised by RVNL, BSNL, or DoT — including TSPs and ISPs — can register and apply for Right of Way permission for OFC crossing works on IWRD canal land.

A No. Under Rule 12 of the Telecommunications (Right of Way) Rules, 2024, BharatNet has been notified as a Special Project. No entry fee, charge, rent, annuity, compensation, or bank guarantee can be levied. At most, an optional security/restoration deposit may apply as configured by IWRD-ISO.

A If the department does not take any action on your application within 30 days of submission, RoW permission is automatically deemed to have been granted under Rule 12 / RoW Rules 2024. The portal will auto-generate a Deemed Approval certificate with a clear watermark and full audit trail.

A In Step 2 of the application wizard (Route & Crossing Details), you can either draw your OFC route directly on the interactive map using the polyline tool, or upload a KML/shapefile. The system will automatically detect intersecting canals and populate the crossing list.

A You can track your application from the Applicant Dashboard after login, or use the "Track Application" option on the homepage by entering your application reference number. You will also receive SMS and email notifications at every stage.

A Yes. Every NOC/RoW permission certificate has a unique QR code. Scanning the QR code (or visiting the Verify Certificate page) shows the certificate's current status, validity, and details — no login required.
