<h1>E-filing for FDI applications introduces single-copy submissions and online inter-ministerial processing to speed approvals and tracking.</h1> A new secure e-portal for FDI applications creates a single-window online process for proposals requiring FIPB approval, allowing submission of a single copy, electronic circulation to administrative ministries, online queries and responses, and SMS/email alerts; it preserves distinction between the automatic route and the government approval route, outlines indicative processing stages and timelines, and records transactions to enhance transparency and security.
