BSCIC launches one-stop service

Bangladesh Small and Cottage Industries Corporation (BSCIC) inaugurated its "one-stop service" yesterday to attract domestic and foreign investment.

The service would help businesses get trade licences, land registration, naming, environmental clearance and many other certificates from BSCIC. 

Businesses can now apply online and get these services from a single platform.

"BSCIC has entered into a new era with the inauguration of the One Stop Service Centre.

There is no alternative to one-stop service in building a Digital Bangladesh," said Nurul Majid Mahmud Humayun, industries minister, after launching the service at a function at InterContinental Dhaka.

The initiative will help entrepreneurs get their desired services within the shortest possible time, said Md Mushtaq Hasan, chairman of BSCIC.

"This will attract new domestic and foreign investments in BSCIC industrial cities and will accelerate eco-friendly industrialisation in the country."

Kamal Ahmed Majumder, state minister for industries, and Md Jashim Uddin, president of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry, were also present at the event.
