New Delhi, Sept 30 (KNN) Promoting ease of doing business at the ground level, the Odisha Government has done away with the trading licence for the purchase, trade and transportation of five beach sand minerals up to the quantity of 16 tonnes per month.
In a notification issued earlier this month, the Steel & Mines Department said, “…no trading licence shall be required for purchase, trading and transportation by any person for his use or consumption of Garnet, Ilmenite, Sillimanite, Rutile and Zircon up to the quantity of 16 tonnes per month.”
The Odisha based entrepreneurs have hailed the decision hoping that soon the same step would be taken by other states too.
Industry body FISME had taken up the issue of exemption of small buyers / traders from obtaining trade licences, with the Mines department of Orissa Government about a year back, to avoid harassment and corrupt practices.
The MSME entrepreneurs, through the social media sites, have also been raising their concerns with the government. (KNN Bureau)
