Launches national single window system to improve ease of doing business

22 Sep 2021

On 22 September 2021, the Government of India launched the National Single-Window System for investors and businesses. The portal will integrate the existing clearance systems of the Central Departments and of the States and will become a “one-stop-shop” for approvals and clearances needed by investors, entrepreneurs, and businesses in India. It will do away with the need for multiple applications across various portals accordingly.

The portal, which currently hosts the permitting processes for 18 Central Departments and nine States, will be extended to cover another 14 Central departments and an additional five States by December 2021.
