India’s Rubber Board Chairman Sheela Thomas recently launched the Rubber Board Business Information System (RUBIS), which has been developed as part of the on-going e-governance programme of the Rubber Board. Thomas handed over the first manufacturing license generated through the system to N. Dharmaraj, Executive Director, Harrison Malayalam . The portal provides an online platform for filing applications for various licenses, registration-cum-membership certificates and renewals, and filing of all statutory returns. Verification, recommendation, filing of inspection reports, accounting and tracking of interstate transport of rubber using N-forms can also be now done online.
