Enumerating the broader contours of the Act, Kumar said, it would bring in a new and refreshing era for facilitating investments in the state and translating into reality the motive of “Ease of Doing Business” in J&K. He said services of more than 12 departments have been brought at the door steps of the people in on-line modeunder a single umbrella.
“All services from Pre-establishment, Pre-Operation to Renewals are provided at the Single Window Portal,” Kumar said.
He said the pre-establishment approvals brought under single window include Registration with Building and Other Construction Workers Board by Labour and Employment Department, factory plan approval under “The Factories Act” by Labour and Employment Department, allotment of land in Industrial Area by Industries and Commerce Department, Electricity/Water connection by PDD & PHE (I&C department in case of Industrial areas), Registration under Shops and Establishments Act by Labour and Employment Department, NoCfrom Fire and Emergency Department, Registration of Partnership Firm/Societies by Industries and Commerce Department and Registration Certificate for Inter State Migrant Workmen by Labour and Employment Department.

The renewals of registrations including Registration certificate of Establishment underInter State Migrant Workmen by Labour and Employment Department, Factories License by Labour and Employment Department and Registration under Boiler Act by Labour and Employment Department has also been simplified under the new Act, he said.
Kumar said the Act also involves setting up of 3-tier committees at State, Division and District level, to ensure speedy clearance of business proposals within the stipulated timeframe through online mode. “It ensures minimum physical touch point with the official hierarchy and provision of deemed clearances,” he said and added that better compliance and transparency with inbuilt grievance redressal mechanism is factored in the Act.
