of India to enhance the business ecosystem

in the Country and in respective States/UT’s.

Government of India has issued specific

directions for implementation cycle of Ease

of Doing Business 2024. Considering the

above, Government of Goa is pleased to make

the following changes in the Government to

Business (G2B) services ecosystem:—

1. Enabling PAN Number as Unique

Business Identifier:— To bring about the

transparency,

ease

access,

user-

-friendliness, interoperability, and accountability

in G2B service delivery framework, the

Government of Goa hereby makes it

mandatory that PAN shall serve as the unique

business identifier towards establishment of

linkage/integration with Central/State/UT

Governments. The following may be noted:—

a. Business entities across the State that

shall register on the Goa-Online Portal,

shall be mandatorily required to enter PAN,

which shall be used for any data

interchange or identification purposes

between Goa-Online and other Government

agencies.

b. The existing IT systems of State

departments shall capture PAN for each

entity profile to carry out all Business

approval related transactions.

c. The G2B services (Clearances,

Approvals, Renewals, NoCs etc.) offered

through Goa-Online by the departments

shall capture PAN for existing and new

users. The Clearances/Approval/NoC will

be issued on the name given on the PAN

number, updating the name of the entity

must be done on PAN Card, which will be

updated to Goa-online portal upon

validation.

2. For new businesses seeking to start their

operations in Goa, the online wizard or Know

Your Approvals was launched in the Goa

Single Window System. The wizard includes

an exhaustive list of pre-establishment and

pre-operation clearances/licenses and post

operation compliances required to start and

run a commercial activity in the State of Goa.

3. The Know Your Approval (KYA) module

module of National Single Window System.

The information such displayed shall include

all State Clearances/Approvals/NoCs for

provisions under pollution, labour amongst

others.), size of firm, business location,

4. Further, to provide the latest and most

accurate information to all the users, all state

departments shall notify Goa-IPB about the

addition and/or elimination of any pre-

-establishment, pre-operation, and post-

-operation licenses/clearances so that Goa-

IPB may keep the wizard up to date. In case

of changes, the wizard will be updated

accordingly within a period of 30 days from

the receipt of such notice by Goa IPB.

5. Compliance Dashboard:— This dashboard

aims to provide insights on upcoming/

/pending compliance activities like renewals

or return filings, there by acting as an active

reminder system. This aids businesses to

prioritize their actions thereby avoiding non-

-compliance. The compliance dashboard

must be developed at State level, Department

level and business/entity level by the

respective IT vendors of the departments. The

system such developed shall send notifications

atleast 30 days prior to the due date for all

clearances, approvals, renewals & NoCs. The
