Nearly 14,000 trade licenses have been issued or updated on 2021-22, using the application.
From 2022-23, traders will get an SMS alert to their registered telephone numbers with a link, and detailed payment for updating trade licenses.
The traders can enter www.mcctradelicence.com to track their application status, he said.
