RAS question
Rajasthan One Stop Shop (ROSS) for investors provides:
Correct answer: (D) End-to-end services for business setup.
Rajasthan One Stop Shop for investors provides end-to-end services for setting up a business, from information and registration to approvals, clearances, application tracking, and related facilitation.
Explanation
Rajasthan One Stop Shop is meant to reduce the investor's need to move across departments for business setup. The Raj Nivesh portal describes the system as a single online interface and time-bound clearance system, acting as a one-stop centre for information, registration, approvals, and tracking of clearances. The source also links the One Stop Shop facility with faster handling of large investment proposals and requisite approvals under one roof. That is why option D is the best answer: ROSS is not a narrow land, power, or information window, but a facilitation mechanism covering the business setup journey from land-related needs and clearances to online submission and tracking.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Land allocation may form part of investor facilitation, but ROSS is broader than land and includes registration, approvals, clearances, and tracking.
- (B) Power supply is only one possible business requirement, whereas the Raj Nivesh system is framed as a wider clearance and approval interface.
- (C) The portal does provide information, but the source also mentions registration, approvals, application submission, payments, and tracking, so it is not information-only.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan's investment facilitation and single-window governance framework. It recurs in RAS because industrial policy questions often ask whether a scheme is merely informational or actually designed to simplify approvals for investors.
