-Amendments to Strengthen Ease of Doing Business Framework in Haryana
Chandigarh/New Delhi : The Government of India has accorded highest priority in Ease of Business (EoDB) reforms through the Compliance Reduction and Deregulation Docket, which aims to rationalize regulatory frameworks and reproduce delays across sectors. As part of this initiative, Town and Country Planning Department, Haryana has identified eight priority reform areas.
In line with the same, the State Cabinet, which met under the Chairmanship of Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini, here today accorded approval to a proposal of the Town and Country Planning Department regarding amendment in the Haryana Scheduled Roads and Controlled Areas Restriction of Unregulated Development Act 1963 in Section 8(1 & 2) and Rule 2, 26A & 26E (3) of Rules, 1965. These changes shall create an enabling legal framework for deregulation and compliance reduction through appropriate directives under section 11 of the Act ibid.
The said amendments have been done to introduce a system under self-certification for industrial purpose in conforming land use zones in notified Development Plans. The system will enable eligible applicants to obtain Change of Land Use permissions through online self-certification, based on digitally submitted documents and automated verification. This will ensure transparency, significantly reduce manual intervention and enhance ease of doing business in the State.
