Go Swift Portal
Go Swift Portal
The Government of Odisha has launched a Single Window Investor Facilitation and Tracking system (Go Swift Portal) to help investors community and public. This portal promotes a conducive business environment through transparency and time-bound information/ clearances. It also helps an investor with all required services and support during the entire investment process for Ease of Doing Business in Odisha. In this article, we look at the multiple services offered by the Go-Swift portal in detail.
Services Provided at Go-Swift Portal
Go-Swift is meant to deliver numerous services offered by the state government. The permit for services from 15 state government departments has been made online.
Single Window Clearance
The portal includes approvals, e-payments, application tracking and downloading certificates for all linked G2B (government to business) services.
Central Inspection Framework
The Central Inspection Framework (CIF) has been formed to address the common complaints about ambiguity, duplication and overlapping mandates between inspection authorities, and perceived lack of co-operation and co-ordination. The CIF eliminates the process of multiple visits to the same enterprises by the inspectors and synchronises various inspections by different regulatory authorities.
GOiPLUS
GOiPLUS provides detailed information regarding the availability of industrial plots based on location-specific attributes in terms of connectivity, rail and road linkages and other physical, health and educational infrastructure available in the vicinity of the selected industrial land.
Automated Post Allotment Application (APAA)
The State has implemented the Automated Post Allotment Application (APAA) for constant management of existing MSME units associated with IDCO. The portal has been developed to facilitate online enrollments, applications for any post allotment matters, online payments, application tracking and processing activities. APAA enables to download the approved letters, removing physical interface between the units and IDCO, thus reducing the difficulty on both.
