Hon’ble MoS, Home Affairs Shri. G. Kishan Reddy launched the Unified Portal for Licensing of Eating / Lodging Establishments in Delhi on 01/10/2019 in the august presence of the Chief Secretary Delhi State, Commissioner of Police, Delhi and Additional Secretary (UT), MHA and DG(NIC).

The Unified Portal is a single window system for applying license for eating or lodging establishments in Delhi. The application so submitted can be processed by all agencies (Delhi Police, MCDs/NDMC, Fire, Delhi Pollution Control Board etc.,) individually and simultaneously. This application has the provision for inter-dialogue box for faster processing. The licenses/NOC issued by all agencies can be downloaded from the portal.

Addressing the gathering, Minister of States (Home) Shri Reddy said, “This single window clearance system has been developed under Digital India programme to facilitate people to obtain licenses to open their eatery/lodging businesses in Delhi. This would be an integrated, transparent and seamless system for providing licenses on a time bound manner. Such a people-friendly system would prevent corruption and increase compliance with rules and regulations by all stakeholders”.

The Unified Portal aims at simplifying and rationalizing the regulatory processes (registration & inspection), infusion of transparency and avoids procedural delays in getting statutory clearances from various authorities and real time receipt of application by all agencies simultaneously.
