The order further reads,  “Upon reviewing the progress in the matter, it has been observed that updation of Domicile Certificates issued offline, has not been done on the portal by the issuing authorities. It has been noticed that till January, 2021, only  1/3rd ~of the Certificates issued are reflected in the Web Portal, besides only a  small percentage have been issued through online mode.
