e Sahaj Portal Security Clearance Online Registration Form 2026 at esahaj.gov.in

Central government runs e Sahaj Portal at esahaj.gov.in for online security clearance applications in the aviation sector. Organisations, firms, companies and individuals working in aviation can register on the portal, submit their application from anywhere and check status of their request without visiting any office.

Portal is designed, developed and hosted by National Informatics Centre (NIC), and its content is owned by Ministry of Civil Aviation. Applications submitted here are reviewed by Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), which helps in faster and clear processing of security clearance requests for the aviation sector.

e Sahaj Portal Registration Process 2026

Registration on e Sahaj Portal is simple and takes only a few steps. Applicants need a valid mobile number and email ID handy before starting, since both are used for verification during signup.

STEP 1 - Go to the official website at esahaj.gov.in and check the homepage for the current registration link.

STEP 2 - Click on the "Registration" link present in the header of the homepage.

STEP 3 - This form is used for online registration of organizations, firms or companies seeking security clearance in the aviation sector. Registration is done once by the authorized person, who gets verified through OTP. A valid ID proof also needs to be attached at this step.

STEP 4 - If an individual is applying for security clearance, registration needs to be completed by that person directly on the portal, not through a third party.

STEP 5 - After registration, an email verification link is sent to the applicant's email ID. Once verification is complete, a registration ID (login ID) is sent by email, while the password is sent to the registered mobile number.

After logging in, applicants need to fill and submit the applicable security clearance form on the portal. User Help Manual, available on the Guidelines page, explains the types of clearances and features available. Once the online application is submitted, applicants should take a printout of the submitted form and check it carefully for any mistakes.

Scope of e Sahaj Portal Security Clearances

e Sahaj Portal is currently used for security clearances related to civil aviation only. This is a change from the wider set of ministries covered earlier, and the portal now handles clearance requests connected with aviation activity, such as ground handling, cargo operations and other roles that need prior security clearance before an organisation or individual can start work.

Ministry of Home Affairs remains the nodal ministry for security clearance across various sensitive sectors before issue of licence, permit or contract to companies, bidders or individuals by the administrative ministry concerned. National security clearance helps assess potential security and economic threats, and gives a risk view before investment and project proposals are cleared in key sectors, in line with the goal of Ease of Doing Business.
