The Andhra Pradesh Government on Monday launched the AP Industrial Infrastructure Corporation’s online services for entrepreneurs and grievance redressal system.

This platform is intended to be a bridge between the APIIC and entrepreneurs and make the process of application and registration of land for setting up industries a paperless one.

The AP Minister for Major Industries J. Geetha Reddy launched these services.

The online services for entrepreneurs will enable them to file their request for sale deed, change in line of activity or change in the name of firm. Information about the status of their application will be sent through Email and SMS.

The online grievance redressal system, ‘Parishkaram’, is a 24x7 service, facilitating entrepreneurs in tracking grievances, including infrastructure issues and maintenance of industrial parks.

The Minister also launched a Citizen Charter of APIIC, which provides a stipulated period of response for 13 different requests. These include finalisation of action on valid applications for allotment of lands (within 45 days), issue of provision allotment letter (seven days), execution and registration of Agreement of Sale (21 days) and execution and registration of sale deed on receipt of documents (45 days).

Geetha Reddy said the corporation was in the process of setting up industrial parks in the 14 revenue divisions in the State that do not have this infrastructure. Plans were also being drawn up to set up exclusive industrial parks for women entrepreneurs over 30 acres in each district.
