Delhi CM Jan Sunwai Portal โ€” How to File Complaints Online

The CM Jan Sunwai Portal is a unified digital grievance redressal platform launched by Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on 21 February 2026. It allows residents of Delhi to register complaints related to all Delhi government departments โ€” including the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), Delhi Development Authority (DDA), Delhi Police, and others โ€” on a single platform.

The portal replaces the earlier fragmented complaint systems with a streamlined, transparent mechanism that includes real-time tracking, SMS updates, and a three-tier escalation system.

Official Portal: https://cmjansunwai.delhi.gov.in

What Complaints Can You File?

You can register complaints related to any Delhi government department, including but not limited to:

  • Water supply issues (Delhi Jal Board)
  • Electricity problems (BSES, Tata Power Delhi)
  • Roads and infrastructure (PWD, MCD)
  • Sanitation and garbage (MCD)
  • Pension delays
  • DDA services
  • Delhi Police matters
  • Education and school issues
  • Healthcare services
  • Social welfare schemes

  3. Enter your reference/registration number
  4. View the current status and updates
  5. You can also send reminders if there are delays and submit feedback on the resolution

Three-Tier Grievance Redressal Mechanism

The portal uses a structured escalation system to ensure accountability:

Level Authority Role
Level 1 Grievance Redressal Officer (GRO) First point of resolution
Level 2 Appellate Authority (AA) Handles appeals if GRO doesn't resolve
Level 3 Final Appellate Authority (FAA) Final escalation for unresolved cases

Key features:

  • Each complaint gets a unique reference ID
  • SMS updates at every stage of resolution
  • Negative feedback auto-escalation โ€” if you rate the resolution poorly, the case is automatically escalated
  • Complaints, jurisdictions, and departmental officers are pre-mapped in the system

e-District Services via Common Service Centres (CSC)

Alongside the Jan Sunwai Portal, the Delhi government has integrated e-District services with the Common Service Centre (CSC) Digital Seva Portal. This means:

  • 75+ government services are now available at over 7,000 active CSC centres across Delhi
  • Services available include:
    • Income certificate
    • Caste certificate
    • Residence/domicile certificate
    • Birth and death certificates
    • Social welfare scheme applications
    • Labour department services
    • Education-related services
  • Nominal fee of โ‚น30 for most services
  • No need to visit multiple government offices โ€” one CSC centre handles it all

Documents You May Need

When filing a complaint, keep these handy:

  • Aadhaar card or any government ID
  • Mobile number (for OTP verification)
  • Photos or evidence of the issue (optional but recommended)
  • Previous complaint numbers (if re-filing or escalating)
  • Address proof for location-specific complaints

Important Tips

  1. Save your reference number โ€” you'll need it to track your complaint and for any follow-up
  2. Upload clear photos when filing complaints about roads, water leakage, or sanitation โ€” visual evidence speeds up resolution
  3. Provide accurate location details โ€” the system maps complaints to the correct department based on jurisdiction

  5. Try the mobile app for convenience โ€” file complaints and track them on the go
