Online Handloom portal for Stall Allotment was launched by Rashmi Verma, secretary, ministry of textiles on Tuesday. This portal is envisioned as weaver friendly platform, which shall streamline allotment of handloom stalls. It would save them from the effort of booking the stalls for exhibitions in person. They can now do it all online from across the country.

Weavers/Organizations will be able to apply on the portal as and when online applications are called by way of advertisements in leading newspapers. They will register themselves for applying for allotment for the first time. Thereafter their database will keep updating. System will allot them a login and pass-word for the purpose of submitting application.

After getting registered, they can apply online. The applications will automatically get forwarded to the Weavers Service Centre (WSC) under whose jurisdiction applicant falls. WSCs will have to scrutinize the applications of eligible applicants online within stipulated time and also have to state the reasons for not recommending a particular application.

The applicant will be able to take printout of allotment letter from portal after login into it. With the printed copy of allotment letter they can approach to the organizers for handing over them the stalls. The system will also send alert SMS and email to the allottee mentioning allotment of stall along with stall number.
