She/he is issued a receipt cum token number, which specifies the date of delivery of services. Each type of service has a pre-defined delivery time and system automatically calculates the service delivery date. All kind of payments for the fees etc can be made at the SUWIDHA counter. The application/case is then sent to the branch for action. In between the citizen can track the case with the help of SUWIDHA Token number through DialCITI (which is IVR based system) or website.
