Government departments are in the process of compiling a list of all business approvals, renewals, registrations, and compliances required by business entities to identify areas of duplication and streamline processes, according to official sources.

"The idea is to have symmetry of information, have transparency to improve the ease of doing business in the country and reduce the compliance burden," a senior official said.

This is being done as part of the National Single Window System initiative to provide businesses a unified digital platform for seamless approvals from central and state governments. The initiative is being spearheaded by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), which has been interacting with various government stakeholders and industry representatives to enhance the user experience of the single window system.

Industry associations, sources said, have recommended compiling an exhaustive list of ministry-wise approvals and doing away with additional approvals which go beyond the list.
