The government has stated that in order to improve ease of doing business in the country, it has been taking a series of steps that include setting timeline for clearance of applications, de-licensing the manufacturing of many defence products and introduction of e-Biz project for single window clearance.
The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) has stated that the emphasis has been on introduction of information technology and rationalisation and simplification of the existing rules to make governance more efficient, effective, simple and user-friendly. On the recently taken measures, DIPP has stressed that the implementation of eBiz-project will provide a single platform to avail business and investment related services and create an investor centric hub-and-spoke based online single window model for providing clearances and filing compliances. To improve the regulatory business environment, the government has asked all departments and state governments to take measures on priority basis such as mandatory filing of all returns on-line through a unified form. Further, a maximum timeline of 12 weeks has been finalised by Ministry of Home Affairs for grant of security clearance on industrial licence applications.
Further, the department has noted that guidelines have been issued to streamline the processing of applications for grant of extension of validity of industrial license. Process of applying for industrial licence and industrial entrepreneur memorandum has been made online and this service is now available to entrepreneurs on 24x7 basis at the eBiz website, without human interface. Large number of defence products includes parts/components, castings/forgings etc. have been excluded from the purview of industrial licensing.
