CHENNAI: The state government has developed an online portal - https://tnepass.tnega.org - to streamline issuing e-passes to the public for intra-district, inter-district and inter-State movement. Chief Secretary K Shanmugam, in a letter to all collectors and officials said, “All District Collectors/Chennai Corporation Commissioner/Industries Department are requested to switch over to the new system (TN ePass system). Date and time of its commencement would be intimated shortly.”
Unexpired passes that have already been issued by district collectors/city corporation would remain valid till a cut off date, which would be intimated in due course of time.
