Mintsifra: there is no government act to send subpoenas through “State Services” yet

The Ministry of Digital Development reported that there are no grounds for sending summonses through the State Services portal now, since the methods for sending electronic notifications are not specified in the adopted law, they should be established by a separate act by the government. Today, April 17, the military commissar of Moscow Maxim Loktev declaredthat the test distribution of electronic subpoenas through the “Gosuslugi” will begin already during the spring call,.

“The adopted law on the digitalization of military records does not indicate that summonses will be sent through the State Services. The methods of sending subpoenas still have to be established by the government by a separate act, which has not been adopted,” the statement reads. Telegram channel Mintsifra.

Maxim Loktev in the comments TASS later also said that the testing of the electronic summons service would begin “only after the adoption of the relevant government decree.”

The Ministry of Digital Development added that the adopted law provides for the use of the Gosuslugi portal only for sending notifications about a citizen’s military registration, the application or removal of restrictive measures, or for access to the register of summonses, “which has not yet been created.”

Today Maxim Loktev said that electronic subpoenas in test mode will be sent through the State Services portal, via SMS messages and “over the phone”. Meanwhile, Andrey Kartapolov, head of the State Duma Committee on Defense, and Maksut Shadayev, the Ministry of Digital Development, assured that the law on electronic subpoenas would not affect the current spring draft. The latter said that the register of those liable for military service would not be ready until the next autumn draft.

Now electronic subpoenas are legally equated to paper subpoenas received against receipt. From the moment the summons (both electronic and paper) is received, a ban on leaving the country is introduced. Failure to appear without a valid reason after 20 days from the date of receipt of the summons entails restrictive measures, including a ban on registering an individual entrepreneur.
