The Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) has a plan to accommodate total 50 services under OSS, he informed, Executive Chairman of BIDA Md Sirazul Islam said this on Thursday.
He was addressing an MoU signing ceremony with the Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industries (DCCI) on Thursday.
DCCI has created a separate online portal namely “Membership Online Service” (MOS) to issue one of its two major services- Certificate of Origin (CO) and Membership Certificate completely through online.
According to the MOU signed between DCCI and BIDA back in August this year, DCCI’s “Membership Online Service” is being integrated with the national online ‘One Stop Service’ (OSS) window. In brief, very soon, the mentioned services of DCCI will be availed completely online through the OSS platform.
DCCI is the first private sector organization in Bangladesh to be associated with BIDA to provide its major services digitally through OSS.
Executive Chairman of Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) Md. Sirazul Islam inaugurated DCCI’s “Membership Online Service” which will soon be integrated with the national OSS portal. The inaugural event was held through Zoom on Thursday.
Executive Chairman of Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) Md. Sirazul Islam in his remarks said, after the launching of OSS back in February 2019, at present 36 services are being provided through this platform. But by the end of this month BIDA plans to increase it to 41 adding 6 more services.
“And by the end of January next year, BIDA has a plan to accommodate total 50 services under OSS, he informed. He also reiterated to complete necessary technical tasks to integrate DCCI’s services into OSS as early as possible” he added.
He emphasized on transparency and most possible security of data while providing online services to the business people. He urged upon DCCI to suggest businessmen to get services through OSS and requested President, DCCI to make OSS familiar among the business community.
During the integration launching ceremony, DCCI President Shams Mahmud said, the OSS is an online facilitation mechanism that brings relevant agencies and stakeholders together, coordinated and streamlined, to provide efficient and transparent services to the investors to improve doing business environment. Effective implementation of OSS will facilitate overall local and foreign investment, employment generation, boost economic development and help attain the vision of becoming a developed nation by 2041 and fulfilling the dream of becoming Digital Bangladesh.
He expressed his hope that very soon the preparatory works will be finished to integrate DCCI’s two important services with the OSS for the greater benefit of the business community.
