Delhi government eases regulations to obtain licenses for organizing events

?
SUB-FINAL

Right when the country was busy preparing to celebrate Teacher’s day on September 4th, a landmark initiative was taken by the Delhi government as it implemented Online Licensing process, making it the first state in India that has set in stone such a path-breaking initiative.



The news of licensing process for attaining NOC’s for organizing events being shifted online comes as good news for the event industry stakeholders as now planners can obtain multiple NOC’s required to host events in Delhi through a single window and without a human interface.



While the online clearance has been put in place for non-ticketed events in Delhi for now, it will take around another month for the online process to be implemented for ticketed events; that would be another major achievement.



A report prepared by the excise commissioner Sanjay Kumar on “ease on event regulations” is currently in Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s office for consideration. The report takes into accounts the views of industry insiders like Rajeev Jain, Treasurer, Event and Entertainment Management Association and Karan Arora, Book My Show and advocates about granting licenses on annual basis to certain venues on payment of certain fees after which permission for every event will not be needed.



Commenting on the momentous achievement for the industry, Sabbas Joseph, President EEMA, says, “The decision by Delhi government is much appreciated and now we wait for states like Maharastra and others to follow Delhi’s example.
