The entrepreneurs/industrialists can get in-principal approvals for setting up their new units in the districts within 3 to 15 days under the Right to Business Act introduced by the state government, said Deputy Commissioner Apneet Riyait on Thursday, adding that the status of new industries to be set up in the district shall be reviewed in the meeting of District Scrutiny Committee (DSC).

She also informed that under the Right to Business Act (RTB Act), the entrepreneurs and industrialists need not visit different offices like Forests Department, PWD, Punjab Pollution Control Board, Rural Development and Panchayats Department, District Fire Office, etc for getting the requisite approvals and NoCs as the RTB Act facilitates all clearances under one roof of investing in Punjab. Those units, which are willing to start their ventures, can also apply through the web portal pbindustries.gov.in after the DSC would provide the necessary approval within 3 to 15 days. These units will have to get the mandatory regulatory clearances from the departments concerned within three and a half years once these get the in-principle approval at the commencement of their ventures.

The DC also reviewed the progress of under process applications in the district besides directing the DSC to provide the necessary approvals within stipulated time frame. Those present in the meeting included general manager Industry Centre Amarjit Singh, DRO Aman Pal Singh, Naib Tehsildar Gurpreet Singh, etc.
