Government Announcements/ Action (For Industry)

No. Announcement

GOA

As a step towards enhancing ease of doing business in the state, the Goa government has allowed industrial units to self-certify their compliance with

various statutory requirements under the Factories Act 1948. Henceforth unit owners can self-certify online their compliance with various regulations under

the Goa Factories Rules, 1985, so as to avoid unnecessary paperwork by way of maintenance of registers and frequent enforcement visits by inspectors.

The scheme is for all factories employing 50 workers and above, except for factories categorised as major accident hazards units and coming under the

Hazardous Chemicals Rules, 1989.

To be eligible, unit owners have to register under the scheme and pay the requisite fee which varies between Rs 10,000 to Rs 70,000, depending on the

number of workers employed in the unit. The self-certification is valid for five

years and after the completion of the tenure, the unit owner is permitted to renew the registration for further five years

Components Manufacturers Association (ACMA) for augmenting the inventory of Ventilators and Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) through manufacturing and/or
