Bengaluru, Dec 21: In a measure to boost the ease of doing business, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Monday launched the Affidavit Based Clearance System (ABCS) as part of the amended Karnataka Industrial (Facilitation) Act.
The ABCS guarantees an investor to get all the clearances in a time bound fashion to set up an enterprise in the state, sources in the department of industries said.
They added that these clearances include plan approval, identification of land, conversion of land, environmental approvals and electricity supply.
Speaking at the system's launch, the Chief Minister said the state has taken various steps to improve the business climate for various stakeholders by introducing various reforms.
These reforms include land reforms, labour reforms, auto-renewal of various licences/clearances and central inspection system, he pointed out.
"The amendment to Karnataka Industries facilitation act is a milestone which would enable investors to establish his/her business without any clearances/approvals from various departments for the first three years," Yediyurappa said.

Congress will win thumping majority in Karnataka, says Mallikarjun Kharge after voting
Kalaburagi (PTI): After casting his vote here on Tuesday, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said that the grand old party will register a thumping majority in Karnataka and that there "was no doubt" about it.
The second phase of Lok Sabha polls in Karnataka is underway in 14 constituencies. The 81-year-old Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha was accompanied by his wife Radhabai Kharge to a polling booth at Basavanagara here.
While speaking to reporters here, he said, "Things are good, good reports are coming from everywhere. Alliance partners (INDI Alliance) are getting strength in this third phase (nationally). Definitely in this phase too we will get good support from the people," he added.
Kharge said that he has been voting from Basavanagara in Kalaburagi since he became eligible for voting at the age of 21 (It is now 18).
"I never got it (polling locality) changed. When I became Minister, when I became opposition leader, KPCC (Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee) President, opposition leader in Parliament, I have never forgotten Basavanagara," he said.
"People here have given me love and affection, they really developed my leadership. I'm grateful to the poor people, who stood with me. I'm with them," he added.
Kharge's son-in-law Radhakrishna Doddamani is the Congress candidate from Gulbarga (Kalaburagi) Lok Sabha segment, which the Congress veteran represented twice (2009, 2014), but lost in 2019.
The fourteen Lok Sabha constituencies where elections are underway on Tuesday are: Chikkodi, Belgaum, Bagalkot, Bijapur, Gulbarga, Raichur, Bidar, Koppal, Bellary, Haveri, Dharwad, Uttara Kannada, Davangere and Shimoga.
The state has 28 Lok Sabha constituencies. The first phase of polling in the other 14 seats in most of the southern and coastal districts was held on April 26.
