  • The KYA is a dynamic, intelligent questionnaire which is built incorporating the various variables of the investor like sector, size of investment, type of entity and the State in which the investment is made.
  • The module provides an indicative list of both Central and State approvals based on the specific inputs provided by the investor. 
  • Currently 146 Central approvals across 21 Ministries/ Departments are enabled to be applied through the NSWS portal.
  • 14 States’/UTs’ Single Window Systems have been linked with the NSWS Portal thereby providing access to approvals of these States/UTs to be applied through a single login id.
