More than 22000 compliances were reduced in Government.
103 offences decriminalized and 327 redundant provisions/laws removed by the Centre
A big exercise is being carried out by Central Ministries & States/UTs to reduce compliance burden and the aim of this exercise is to simplify, decriminalize & remove redundant laws, said Shri Piyush Goyal, Minister of Commerce & Industry, Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, Textiles, while speaking at the workshop on National Workshop on Reducing Compliance Burden organised by DPIIT here today.
Shri Goyal said that India, under PM Modi, has come a long way from red-tapism to laying the red carpet for businesses.
The mindset has evolved from “Not able to understand complexities” to “It’s so simple to start a business”.
He said that numerous regulatory compliances only confused the new prospects & built hesitation in investors but today we are creating a most conducive environment for entrepreneurs.
The Minister said that the soft launch of the National Single Window System is an outstanding example of the Government’s commitment to simplify and rationalise things.
The NSWS portal hosts approvals across 18 Central Departments & 9 States and another 14 Central depts & 5 states will be added by Dec’21.
Shri Goyal said that through a participative & consultative approach with all stakeholders we are identifying & eliminating hurdles in a timebound manner.
Speaking on the occasion Secretary DPIIT said that more than 22,000 compliances have been reduced by Union Ministries, States & UTs so far under the initiative and about 13,000 compliances simplified while more than 1,200 processes have been digitized. It may be noted that during the last few years 103 offences have been decriminalized and 327 redundant provisions/laws removed.
Shri Goyal said that the National Workshop on Reducing Compliance Burden will showcase the progress, achievements and notable initiatives under the exercise of Reducing Compliance Burden to ensure Ease of Living and Ease of Doing Business.
