In News 

  • Setting up of an Investment Clearance Cell (ICC) was announced in the Budget 2020-21 with the objective to provide "end to end" facilitation and support to investors, including pre investment advisory, provide  information related to land banks and facilitate clearances at Centre and State level.
  • The cell was to operate through an online digital portal.
About the portal 

  • Envisioned as a one-stop shop for taking all the regulatory approvals and services in the country, the ICC/ National Single Window System (NSWS) [www.nsws.gov.in] was soft-launched on 22nd September, 2021.
  • NSWS fulfills this requirement through the Know Your Approvals module (KYA) on the NSWS platform.
  • 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.
