Punjab Right to Business Act Extended to Chandigarh with Digital Single-Window System
The Union Home Ministry has extended the Punjab Right to Business Act, 2020, to Chandigarh with necessary modifications to suit the Union Territory's administrative structure. Effective from July 2, the Act establishes the Chandigarh Enterprise and Investment Bureau as a nodal agency to facilitate self-declaration, expedite approvals, coordinate with departments, and address grievances. The process will be managed through a digital single-window portal, aiming to improve ease of doing business, particularly for small and medium enterprises, by reducing regulatory delays and inspections.
