Centre’s technical team on Wednesday visited Punjab Bureau of Investment Promotion to have first-hand information of the system put in place by the State Government to understand the concept of One-Stop Clearance System.
A technical team of Central Cabinet Secretariat’s Project Monitoring Group (PMG), led by its Technical Director Dr Subhag Chand, gathered information on the systems put in place by Punjab Government to improve investment environment for entrepreneurs through ease of doing business strategies.
The team has come especially to understand the concept of one stop clearance system (OSCS) for the grant of all regulatory clearances under one roof through a web portal. The team held a meeting with PBIP chief executive officer Anirudh Tewari and other officers of the department.
Tewari apprised the team that the concept of OSCS has made a sea change in the policy of regulatory clearances and will facilitate entrepreneurs on a 24X7 basis in the ease of their business premises.
The requirement to visit multiple offices to set up their businesses is over and the composite clearance of different departments is provided under one roof, he added.
Dr Chand appreciated the concept, and said that his team wanted to see its adoptability at the Centre-level through Department of Industrial Promotion and Policy (DIPP).
The integration of OSCS with e-Biz portal of Central Government was also discussed. E-Biz portal is DIPP’s flagship programme to provide clearances from different departments through single portal being developed by Infosys.
