Entrepreneurs can apply online for 26 services from June

Starting June, entrepreneurs would be able to apply online for 26 services, including PAN and DIN numbers, through an e-Biz portal, a move to improve ease of doing business. 

Secretary in the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) Amitabh Kant said, adding that there is an urgent need for labour reforms in the country. With the integration of these services on eBiz portal, an entrepreneur can avail of all these services 24x7 online -- submission of forms, attachments, payments, tracking of status and obtaining the licence/permit from the portal. “We have already done that for 14 services and by the end of June we will have 26 central government services (integrated with the e-Biz portal),” Kant said here at a function. He added that by the end of the year 10 states would be integrated with the portal, which was launched in February.
