NEW DELHI : Taking further the e-governance initiative, the corporate affairs ministry on Friday proposed setting up of a single portal to link businesses with various regulators and regulatory ministries.

The portal, NexGen MCA21 aims at bringing in elements and concepts which would make it possible to take effective regulation and enforcement of the company laws and regulations at all stages, including inspections, investigations and prosecutions, MCA secretary Anurag Goel said speaking at a function here.

The proposed single regulatory portal for businesses should be linked internally to various regulatory ministries and individual regulators so that business to government and regulations window is created for businesses, he said.

Goel added that there should be use of artificial intelligence for alerting the regulators on corporate frauds.

Citing examples from the World Bank report 'Ease of Doing Business' to point various problems entrepreneurs face while setting up a business in India, IT Secretary Jainder Singh said a multi-pronged strategy, including the improved regulation, policy formulation processes and better interface between the government and business should be put in place.
