Case Study
Kolkata Municipal Corporation
had a big problem with their revenue generating documents like Trade Licence, Market Licence, Birth Certificate etc. being counterfeited by the local touts and brokers. Millions in lost revenue were creating severe erosion of their resources.
They decided to use a hologram across all the revenue generating documents and each of them was affixed with a tamper evident Holoflex hologram carrying a tamper proof laser marked alphanumeric sequential number. The alphabetic prefix denotes the type of certificate for which the hologram is intended. For instance, all Birth Licences carry a prefix 'B', and the serial number is unique to all the Birth Certificates.
The presence of the serial number made the task of tracking the hologram labels much easier and the alphabetic prefix before each number ensured that a hologram meant for Birth Certificate could not be used for any other purpose.
The Corporation has reported record collections in the last financial year due to the plugging of this loophole by holographic security.
