Different stages of e-governance are identified on certain set of criteria. These stages are:

• Simple information dissemination (one-way communication)- is considered as the most basic form, as it is used for merely disseminating information;

• Two-way communication (request and response)- is characterised with e-mail system and information and data-transfer technologies in the form of website;

• Service and financial transactions- is online services and financial transactions leading to web based self-services;
