Simplifying business establishment process Unwanted regulatory regime, excessive paper work, collecting scores of “No objection certificates” from numerous departments, red-tape, delays and irritating administrative outdated procedures and the like have proved to be the bane behind investors feeling shy to invest and establish business entities in Jammu and Kashmir. Such an approach, as such, has resulted in retarding the progress, shrinking of employment opportunities and impacting the GDP. In this era of more of opening up and freeing the processes and structures from unwanted terms and conditions, completing of only nominal but critical formalities, adopting of single window system and quick disposal of papers regarding sanctions, approvals, granting of lease of land, tax reforms, simplifying of and cutting down on submission of papers related to business periodically, online approaches etc , no corner in the country can afford to swim against the current hence has to go in for reforms, relaxations and requisite elasticity. In other words, simplifying and shortening the procedures and concentration on encouraging more business, more production and resultant more job opportunities are the dire requirements of the day. It is imperative, therefore, that bold, calculated risk oriented but fast initiatives are taken by the Government especially when the thrust is on ”Atma Nirbhar Bharat” or Self Reliant India.
