Haryana industrial policy in March

Haryana is planning to introduce an industrial policy to attract fresh investment and revive the existing units. Chief Minister Manohar lal Khattar on Tuesday told reporters the government would roll out the new policy in March. Khattar was talking to the media on the completion of 100 days of his government in Haryana.

He said online registration of small and medium-scale units would be introduced and the single-window clearance system would also be upgraded to facilitate the industry.

For the benefit of traders, e-registration, e-payment and e-filing process would be adopted with effect from April 2015. The C-Form will also be available online from March this year.

He said Rs 5,911 crore of excise revenue was collected in the third quarter of 2014-15, compared with Rs 5,532 crore in the corresponding period last year.

The skewed sex ratio in 12 of the 21 districts is a prime indicator of the worsening of social backwardness in the state. Khattar said all government schools will have benches by March 2016 and will have toilets by 2019.
