The Jammu and Kashmir government on Monday ordered streamlining of Single Window Clearance System in order to facilitate new industrialists in setting up units in the union territory.
In a circular issued by General Administration Department under the subject 'Business Reform Action Plan recommended services to be integrated with J&K Single Window System’ (No:44-JK(GAD) of 2022 Dated:21-11-2022), attention has been invited of all Administrative Secretaries of union territory towards initiatives of the government for simplifying regulatory burdens on businesses under Business Reform Action Plan (BRAP) of Department for Promotion of Industries and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Government of India.
“It has been observed that one of the key requirements under BRAP exercise is to integrate J&K Single Window Portal with other Departmental Portals/Online Systems whereunder, Government to Business (G2B) and Government to Citizens (G2C) services are being provided,” the circular said.
“The integration of such services would require on boarding of these platforms with J&K Single Window Clearance System under BRAP, 2022,” it added.
“The integration of all portals which are providing G2B and G2C services under BRAP would redirect the applicants to a single platform of J&K Single Window Clearance System and departments would continue to use their respective service portals to approve or otherwise the applications within stipulated timelines notified under J&K Public Services Guarantee Act, 2011,” the GAD circular said.
“Accordingly, it is enjoined upon all the Administrative Secretaries to ensure monitoring of the integration process in consultation with Industries and Commerce Department, Information Technology Department and NIC, J&K along with monitoring the progress of approvals of the respective services to achieve 100% feedback of users on Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) and Ease of Living (EL) in the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, so that better assessment rating could be achieved under BRAP, 2022,” the circular issued by Dr. Piyush Singla, Secretary to the Government, said.
