Key highlights of the amendment are:

- The applicant will receive an automated acknowledgment electronically on the web portal itself.
- Certificate of registration will be generated electronically on the web portal itself.
- Any change in particulars specified in the certificate of registration, relating to any establishment can be intimated on the web portal itself within thirty days from the date when such change takes place.
