eBiz portal to be operational by Mar 31, 2015
The government is aiming to get most clearances done via an e-biz portals. The government is trying to digitize all the processes and it is expected that by March 31, 2015, no industry has to go to any office to file for application for clearances. 14 states have already formed the state project monitoring group after the government set up the national platform.
Anil Swarup the Additional Secretary of Cabinet Committee on Investments (CCI) said that they have 450 projects worth Rs 22 lakh crore on portal. And the good news is that out of those 450 projects, 165 projects worth Rs 5.7 lakh crore have been cleared. Around 230 projects are yet to be cleared.
Vinayak Chatterjee the Chairman of Feedback Infra stated that a tremendous amount of backroom work and hectic activity is seen across ministries to kick start the infra cycle.The initiative has already been taken by DIPP (Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion) that has set up an eBiz portal.
They are trying to identify all the clearances in various departments like the ministry of environment, forest, ministry of coal, ministry of mines so on and so forth as also the clearances that are required at the state level. So far they have been able to identify 60 such clearances out of which 25 are related to the central government and 35 to the state government. It is expected that by March 31, 2015 most of these clearances will be moving through that eBiz portal that has been set up by DIPP.
