6. BUSINESS MODEL
The BOOT (build, own, operate, transfer model was adopted to create a win-win situation for the
GoMP and TCS
Being a JV , it has allowed the government to benefit from the BOOT model, with NO UPFRONT
FINANCIAL BURDEN TO THE STATE
All INFRASTRUCTURE, TECHNICAL PERSONNEL, CAPEX and OPEX belong to MPOnline, which will be
transferred to MPSEDC at the expiry of the contract, unless decided otherwise
NO COST to any client – instead, a small portal fee based on No. of Transactions determined by a
Price Fixing committee is charged from citizens and other end-users.
As MPOnline does not charge any money from the department for which the service has been
developed . The development, server, maintenance and other indirect costs are initially incurred by
MPOnline and have to be recovered using USER PAY MODEL.

7. REVENUE MODEL
Delivery Network Financial Model :
The KIOSKS and CSCs through which MPOnline services are delivered are set up as franchisees.
All investment in personnel, infrastructure and connectivity are borne by the KIOSK / CSC OWNERS.
Citizens pay a small ‘PORTAL FEE’ to avail services on the MPOnline portal.
Of this fee, the kiosk and MPOnline ratio varies from 60:40 to 40:60 ratio.
Franchisees do not have an EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT with MPOnline and are free to use their
infrastructure for their OTHER BUSINESSES – INTERNET CAFÉ, XEROX CENTRE, TYPING, SCANNING
etc.

8. REVENUE MODEL
The kiosks work on a PRE-PAID Model where they ‘top-up’ their account with a certain amount of
money and can then provide services to citizens for as long as they have credit balance.
Franchisees pay a one-time registration fee and then pay an annual renewal fee based on the
volume of business done.
MPOnline was mandated to increase its presence by establishing Kiosks in Urban areas only
CSCs are FINANCIALLY VIABLE now after integration with MPOnline which provides more than 200
services through CSCs.
Perhaps, the only state where the CSC model is financially viable and self sustainable

9. REVENUE MODEL
THE MODEL SUSTAINABILITY

This initiative has sustained primarily been due to the will of the Government to make it a success
and enabling their citizen with e-governance.
More and more Government services are available at the doorsteps of the citizens.

the period of time.

developing the service.

Maintenance, Hardware and System Software Cost, Customer Help Desk, Disaster Recovery
etc. are taken into consideration.
On the basis of the estimated number of transactions per annum , a cost per transaction is
arrived.

officials for the final approval.

method suitable to them-

services. A Citizen can walk to the nearest Kiosk, where the Kiosk operator will fill forms and
digitize supporting documentation for him and leave after paying a nominal Portal Fee in Cash.

minimum downtime.
In case of any disaster, the traffic will automatically be shifted to the Disaster recovery site. This is an
automated process, requiring no human intervention.

database server goes down, the traffic (of the whole site) can be shifted to the Disaster recovery
