SHILLONG: The process of making the entire trading license system digital for non-tribals will take around a month’s time.
Informing this here, Executive Member (EM) in-charge of Trade, Paul Lyngdoh said the process is on to make the entire system digital.
Once digitisation takes place, the traders would come to the Council, fill up forms and within a short time frame, their licenses would be cleared or rejected based on merit.
He also said the Council is enhancing the trade license fee structure for all cases of fresh licenses and those which need renewal.
According to Lyngdoh, it will take around two weeks for the Council to announce the new rates.
It was learnt that as of now there are around 5,000 non- tribals running shops and a substantial number of them do not come under licensing system and once the digitisation takes place, “the question of any group barging into anybody’s shop would not arise”.
Several pressure groups in the state have been asking the KHADC to restrict issuing trading license to non-tribals.
