Initiatives on
Improving ‘Ease of Doing Business’ in India
The Government of
India has taken up a series of measures to improve Ease of Doing Business. The
emphasis has been on simplification and rationalization of the existing rules
and introduction of information technology to make governance more efficient
and effective. The measures taken are:
1. Process of applying for
Industrial License (IL) and Industrial Entrepreneur Memorandum (IEM) has been
made online and this service is now available to entrepreneurs on 24x7 basis at
the eBiz website. This had led to ease of filing applications and online
payment of service charges.
2. 20 services are integrated
with the eBiz portal which will function as a single window portal for
obtaining clearances from various governments and government agencies.
These services are given in Appendix.
3. Notification has been
issued on 12-03-2015 by DGFT to limit number of documents required for export
and import to three.
4. Ministry of Corporate Affairs
has introduced an integrated process of incorporation of a company, wherein
applicants can apply for Director’s Identification Number (DIN) and company
name availability simultaneous to incorporation application [Form INC-29].
5. The Companies (Amendment) Act,
2015 has been passed to remove requirements of minimum paid-up capital and
common seal for companies. It also simplifies a number of other regulatory
requirements.
6. A comparative study of
practices followed by the States for grant of clearance and ensuring
compliances was conducted through M/s Accenture Services (P) Ltd. and six best
practices were identified. These were circulated among all the states for peer
evaluation and adoption. The study has also identified important bottlenecks
faced by industries and important steps required to improve the business
environment in States.
7. Application forms for
Industrial Licence (IL) and Industrial Entrepreneur Memorandum (IEM) have been
simplified.
8. Vide Press Note 3 (2014),
Defence products’ list for industrial licensing has been issued, wherein large
number of parts/components, castings/forgings etc. have been excluded from the
purview of industrial licensing. Similarly dual use items, having military as
well as civilian application (unless classified as defence item) will also not
require Industrial License from defence angle. For these items only an
Industrial Entrepreneur Memorandum (IEM) has to be filed.
9. Vide Press Note 5 (2014), initial
validity period of Industrial License has been increased to three years from
two years. This will give enough time to licensees to procure land and obtain
the necessary clearances/approvals from authorities.
10. MHA has stipulated that it
will grant security clearance on Industrial Licence Applications within 12
weeks. In matters other than Explosives and FIPB cases, security clearances are
valid for three years unless there is a change in composition of management or
shareholding.

production is being treated as commencement of production of all the items
included in the license. This has obviated the hardship of licensees to get
their Industrial License extended even though they have started production.

reply to their queries, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) by applicants for
grant of industrial license have been developed and uploaded on DIPP website.
13. Vide Press Note 4 (2014), the
NIC Code NIC 2008 has been adopted, which is the advanced version of industrial
classification. This code will allow Indian businesses to be part of globally
recognized and accepted classification that facilitate smooth
approvals/registration.
14. Vide Press Note 6 (2014), the
‘Security Manual for Licensed Defence Industry’ has been issued. This has
obviated the requirement of affidavit from applicants. Earlier, an affidavit
signed before Judicial Magistrate was required from the applicant to confirm
that they will comply with the safety & security guidelines/procedures laid
down by the Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Home Affairs in Government of
India. The applicants were facing difficulties in obtaining such affidavit and
this was severely delaying the issue of License even after approval of
Licensing Committee.
15. A checklist with specific
time-lines has been developed for processing all applications filed by foreign
investors in cases relating to Retail/NRI/EoU foreign investments. This has
been placed on the DIPP website.
16. An Investor Facilitation Cell
has been created in ‘Invest India’ to guide, assist and handhold investors
during the entire life-cycle of the business.
17. SEZ Units allowed removing
goods for repair, replacement, testing, calibration, quality testing and
research and development on self-attestation.

Environment and Forests clearances has been made online through Ministry of Environment
and Forests and Climate Change’s portals http://environmentclearance.nic.in/
and http://forestsclearance.nic.in/ .

education institution above 20,000 square meters of build-up area up to 150,000
square meters of build-up area.

Employment, Director General, ESIC and Central Provident Fund Commissioner.

provided on a real-time basis.
21. An order facilitating revival
and rehabilitation of MSMEs through banker’s committee has been issued by
Ministry of MSME.

registration of Units for LIN, reporting of inspection, submission of returns
and grievance redressal has been launched by Ministry of Labour and Employment.
23. DIPP has requested all
Secretaries of Government of India and Chief Secretaries of the States/UTs to
simplify and rationalize the regulatory environment. In order to improve the
regulatory business environment they have been requested to take the following
measures on priority: a) All returns should be filed on-line through a unified
form; b) A check-list of required compliances should be placed on Department’s
web portal; c) All registers required to be maintained by the business should
be replaced with a single electronic register; d) No inspection should be
undertaken without the approval of the Head of the Department; and e) For all
non-risk, non-hazardous businesses a system of self-certification should be
introduced.
24. Registration process of VAT

The total installed capacity of Cement Plants in India is 360 Million Tons per
annum. At present, the Cement Industry is not operating at optimum
capacity due to sluggish demand. As against the present installed capacity of
360 Million tons per annum, the total production during 2014-15 was only 270.93
Million Tons per annum. Thus, there is ample scope to meet future
requirement.
This information was given by the Minister of State(Independent Charge) in
the Ministry of Commerce & Industry Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman in a written
reply in Lok Sabha today.
