This office handles 4 of the 35 steps in the register. What else it does, and what it charges.
What to have with you
Not stated The government source for this step does not publish a list of documents. That absence is recorded in the register rather than filled in from an unofficial checklist, so treat any list you are handed elsewhere as somebody's practice rather than as a rule. The document lists that do exist are collected on one page.
The form you fill in
Proposal 'in such form containing such particulars, and in such manner and along with such fees as may by regulation prescribed by the Apex Authority' - no form number is given in the Act
What it costs
No fee published. This is one of the 18 steps of 35 where no government source we read publishes an amount, so nobody can tell you the figure in advance from an official page.
Here is exactly what was searched, quoted from the register's own limitations list:
Apex Authority (GIDB) single-window proposal fee under section 18(2) of the GSIR Act 2009: left to Apex Authority regulations, which were not found published. Recorded as null.
How long it takes
Quoted from the source, in its own words:
The Apex Authority shall communicate its decision to the concerned person and the Regional Development Authority 'as early as possible' - no fixed number of days is prescribed in the Act.
No number of days is fixed at all. The Act says the Apex Authority answers as early as possible and fixes no number of days. That is our reading of the wording printed above, which is why the wording is printed above.
The nine stated timings in the register are compared on one page.
What to watch out for
The register keeps a note against this step. It is the part most people find out too late, so it is printed in full rather than summarised.
FEE IS NOT FIXED IN THE ACT - it is left to Apex Authority regulations, which were not found published on the pages examined. Recorded as null. Section 19 preserves the Gujarat Special Economic Zone Act, 2004 for units inside an SEZ that falls within the SIR. Section 23 lets a person holding the minimum contiguous area prescribed by the Apex Authority apply for integrated development of that area.
The law behind it
Section 18, Gujarat Special Investment Region Act, 2009; section 23 for integrated development of a large area
