Indian Government manages the various e-Government services through the several e-Governance portals. These portal are serve single department and represents the single solution for a particular department. With the time it becomes the necessity to manage inter-departmental dependencies in information sharing. XML; due to its unique features like simplicity, openness, extensibility and self description etc, is a language that can manage these complex interdepartmental dependencies. Moreover XML comes with powerful features that can manage contextual information and is able to separate content from presentation. It also support multilingual documents and Unicode and can embed multiple data type. XML is also able to provide one server view for distributed data. At present heterogeneity among databases poses problem in information sharing in e-Government portals. The paper aims at exploring the fact that the technology such as XML and Web Services having the potential capability to provide and increase inter operability among e-Governance applications in India. Present paper proposed models for information sharing and it shows that these proposed conceptual models will be useful to integrate data at various level and also accommodate Semi structured database in the context of Indian e-Governance applications. These models are also helpful to minimize dependency among applications and making secured information sharing possible among government portals. Presented model are also tested for Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) for their acceptance in the stakeholders.
