New Delhi, Sept 8 (KNN) The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) is implementing the eBiz project to improve ease of doing business by providing a single platform to avail business and investment related services.

“This project will result in radical improvements in ease of doing business by reducing time, efforts and costs taken in obtaining clearances and ensuring compliances,” said Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.

The project will provide a bouquet of services through a single composite form and a single payment mechanism which can be apportioned, split and routed to the respective heads of account of central, state or parastatal agencies along with generation of challans and MIS reports, she said.

The minister said that Integration with central government services is being done on highest priority.

Highlighting the government’s effort to remove bottlenecks and develop India as a manufacturing hub, Sitharaman said the emphasis of the government has been on simplification of the procedures, rationalization of the existing rules and increased use of information technology to make governance more efficient, effective, simple and user-friendly.
