Addressing the gathering, Shri Reddy said that the portal is\na step in the direction to achieve Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi\u2019s vision\nto establish a corruption-free economy by bringing in welfare-oriented economic\nreforms. He said that India has progressively improved its Ease of Doing\nBusiness ranking and the Government is encouraging entrepreneurs to start up\nnew businesses. The Food and Beverages is a big sector and by 2021, it would be\nhaving over 2% contribution in India\u2019s GDP, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talking about the features of the portal, Shri Reddy said\nthat, this single window clearance system has been developed under Digital\nIndia programme to facilitate people to obtain licenses to open their\neatery\/lodging businesses in Delhi. This would be an integrated, transparent\nand seamless system for providing licenses on a time bound manner. Such a\npeople-friendly system would prevent corruption and increase compliance with\nrules and regulations by all stakeholders, the Minister said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Unified Portal aims at simplifying and rationalizing the\nregulatory processes (registration & inspection), infusion of transparency\nand avoids procedural delays in getting statutory clearances from various\nauthorities and real time receipt of application by all agencies\nsimultaneously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • The applicant to know the status of his\napplication at all the stages of approval process;<\/li>
  • The applicant will get notification of any\ndeficiency in his application in the portal itself and also through email and\nmessage in his registered mobile number;<\/li>

  • The applicant can download the approval by all\nagencies from the portal;<\/li>
  • The portal will also facilitate easy monitoring\nby concerned authorities.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    In NCT of Delhi, a number of licenses are required for\nrunning eating houses\/ lodging houses. The requirements are as per the provisions\nin New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) Act 1994, Delhi Municipal Corporation Act\n1957, Delhi Fire Service Act 2007, Delhi Police Act, 1978 and the Air\/ Water\n(Prevention and Control of Pollution) Acts. These Acts mandate the concerned\norganization to issue license\/ NOC\/ registration\/ consent for operating eating\/\nlodging houses in Delhi. In other words, this results into handling the matter\nby respective agencies in compartmental and isolated manner without much\nconsultation with other stakeholders causing complication in some cases at\nlater stages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This necessitated the applicants to procure four basic\nclearances separately\u2013 municipal, fire, police and pollution control committee\n\u2013 making the entire process cumbersome, hassle prone and time taking. These\ndifficulties lead to situations where restaurants and hotels operate with just\none or two of these clearances, thus, posing a health\/safety hazard to public.\nTherefore, a seamless system where various agencies can co-ordinate their\nrespective inspection and approval processes and provide the public with a\nsingle point of hassle-free contact, is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In order to address the above without effecting any change\nin existing legal \/ regulatory position and mandate given by respective Acts to\nall concerned agencies, Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) facilitated developing a\nsingle window online system developed through NIC (MHA), in consultation with\nall the stakeholders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
