An NRI Businessman, Brij Singh, who was trying to register a company in Bengaluru, India, but was facing delays and difficulties in the process. He expressed his frustration and disappointment in a tweet, stating that he loves Bengaluru and India but has been struggling for two months to register the company, and is considering moving back to the US with a heavy heart.
After seeing Singh’s tweet, Industries Minister MB Patil extended help on behalf of the state government. He responded to Singh’s tweet, expressing his apologies for the delay and offering his assistance. Patil explained that company formation is usually done by Chartered Accountants (CAs) and should not take more than 15-20 days to get cleared by the Registrar of Companies (RoC), which falls under the central government and is the same for all states. He assured Singh that he would personally help resolve the issue if there were any problems.
The exchange between Singh and Minister Patil received a mixed response from the public, with many people appreciating the minister’s prompt response and willingness to help, while some were critical of the delay in the registration process.
Singh appreciated the minister’s response and expressed gratitude for his support, stating that things had started moving. He mentioned that he would reach out to the minister’s team if the need arises.
Overall, the incident highlights the power of social media in connecting individuals with government officials and the importance of prompt and proactive government responses to public grievances. It also demonstrates how ministers and government authorities can use social media platforms to directly communicate with citizens and address their concerns.
