In a big fillip to ease of doing business for the industries in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), the Union Territory (UT)'s administration has approved the elimination of at least 15 no-objection certificates (NOCs) as a prerequisite for setting up industries, reports Times of India.
Aiming at reviving the business sector and to boost investor confidence, the Administrative Council (AC) chaired by Lieutenant Governor (LG) Manoj Sinha has decided that the Udyog Aadhaar memorandum as per the condition of Government of India will be the only requirement for setting up a business unit in the UT from now.
The UT would now require a bare minimum set of approvals/NOCs. For these two sets of single-window committees have been established. One of these would cater to business units coming up within industrial estates and another would cater to units coming up outside industrial estates.
The administration believes that the single-window committees would ensure time-bound approvals of power connections, water connections and building plans as per specified timelines on a case-to-case basis.
The administration has also approved the setting up of a divisional-level committee which would periodically monitor the working of committees and address issues related to the issuance of approvals/NOCs, if any.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
