This portal will be available for public with effect from 16^th October 2018 for filing application and no applications shall be received through E-biz portal or in physical form either under I(D&R) Act or Arms Act 1959.

Applications for IEM and IL under I(D&R) Act, 1951 are currently accepted through E-biz portal whereas applications for manufacture of defence items under Arms Act are received physically

 

Online filing for industrial licences: electronic portal replaces prior channels and physical applications, centralising submission procedures. A new dedicated online portal centralises submission of Industrial Entrepreneurs' Memorandum and Industrial Licence applications for industries and manufacture of defence items under the Arms regulatory framework, making electronic filing via the portal the exclusive method and discontinuing prior electronic gateway and physical submissions.
