FLAGSHIP FEATURE

Digital Gam Letter — no paper, no travel

The biggest friction in the old process was getting a Gam Letter from your village representative. Not anymore.

  • You select Digital Gam Letter as your income proof when applying
  • The Processor sends a secure consent link to your village representative via email + WhatsApp
  • The representative reviews and consents electronically
  • A digitally signed recommendation letter is generated automatically

What used to take days of phone calls and travel now takes minutes.
