Noida lockdown: How to get an e-pass

Amid the continuing curfew/lockdown in Noida, there has been a rise in demand for e-passes.

The administration has been issuing e-passes for people involved in essential services and activities, district Magistrate Suhas L Y said.

People in need of commuting from one place to another for essential work — like going to hospitals or to get medicines — can apply for the e-pass.


Application can be done online, and there is no need to go anywhere physically. To apply, documents with picture like Aadhar or PAN card and GST-related papers (for commercial units) will be required, a PTI report said quoting administration officials.

One will need this pass for movement within the district as well as the state till the time the lockdown is in place. It will also be required when someone is seeking to travel out of the state.

One can apply for the e-pass on rahat.up.nic.in or rahat.up.nic.in/.

Meanwhile, the UP administration today extended the ongoing corona curfew till May 10. It was originally slated to be in force till 7 am tomorrow.

The govt will decide on Sunday as to whether or not to extended the curfew any further. In the interim, all shops and establishments will now remain shut.

All essential services will be permitted to continue. The ongoing vaccination drive will also keep running.
