Explanation

DigiLocker is a flagship initiative of the Ministry of Electronics and IT under the Digital India programme. Its purpose is not to keep paper files in a physical storehouse, but to give citizens access to authentic digital documents through a digital document wallet. The official DigiLocker page describes it as a secure cloud-based platform for the storage, sharing and verification of documents and certificates. That directly matches option C: cloud-based storage for citizens' digital documents issued by government. The logic of the answer is the platform's public-service role: it digitises document access and verification, reducing dependence on paperwork.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) DigiLocker is described as a secure cloud-based document platform, so it does not store physical documents in government warehouses.
• (B) The platform covers documents and certificates generally, not only land records.
• (D) DigiLocker is a digital document wallet for authentic documents, not a cryptocurrency wallet.

Concept

This tests Digital India and e-governance infrastructure, especially citizen-facing platforms that replace paper-heavy public services. RAS often asks such questions because these platforms connect technology, governance delivery and administrative reform.
