Ease of Doing Business for MSMEs: In what could possibly help India further improve on the Ease of Doing Business index, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal on Thursday stressed on setting up a single-window online system for entrepreneurs to get necessary central and state approvals to launch a business. Goyal said that the system could leverage capabilities of existing systems to offer time-bound approvals (for applications) and also update investors about that on a real-time basis. Suggesting required steps towards the ease of business launch, the minister said that it could be a single application form “which could entail single-time upload of all relevant information & documents.” Goyal was talking to the industry ministers of states, UTs and senior officers of central and state governments via video conference.
