The Department of Economic Development, or DED, has automated the fine settlement systems for commercial establishments with a simpler option to enquire and settle fines within five minutes.
The new intelligent system replaces the earlier practice of submitting an enquiry and then waiting for up to four working days to allow the DED to complete verifications by different sections to complete transactions.
Holders of trade licences can now submit their enquiries and the system will search and display fines as well as process them without the need for any human intervention.
The new settlement system, which combines four levels of verifications into a single step of enquiry and payment, will simplify procedures to save time for customers and help enhance overall ease of doing business in Dubai.
Customers will also have the option to have their fines settled through all branch offices of the DED's Commercial Compliance and Consumer Protection, or CCCP, located at Business Village A, Al Barsha, Dragon Mart, Al Twar Centre, Dubai Mall and Tecom. Earlier, the facility was only available at Business Village A.
Mohammed Ali Rashed Lootah, executive director of CCCP, said: "The Department of Economic Development is launching various initiatives in line with the vision of our leadership and the Government of Dubai to provide the best services for commercial establishments, enhance Dubai's competitiveness ranking at the global level and improve happiness across the emirate."
