Chandigarh: To promote trade and industry and improve ease of doing business in the state, the Punjab Government has done away with 479 compliances that were earlier required for seeking various approvals and renewals by industrialists, state Chief Secretary Vini Mahajan said here on Monday.
These compliances were part of a total 541 age-old mandatory approvals identified to be scrapped under Phase-I of reducing compliance burden by various departments, she said.
After doing away with this unnecessary paperwork, the state government submitted its action plan on the Union Government’s Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) portal on March 31, she said. Besides, the process was in progress to scrap more compliances that require certain amendments to the existing laws, she said.
