OSS RBA System Transformation Begins!
Starting from 5 October 2025, the OSS RBA system has shown several updates and changes as part of the implementation of GR No. 28/2025. We have summarized these important changes and updates for your reference. d These updates require corporations to adapt to the updated OSS RBA system, which may introduce a more complex implementation process.

OSS RBA System Transformation: Key Changes Under GR No. 28/2025
Effective 5 October 2025, the Indonesian government has implemented significant updates to the Online Single Submission Risk-Based Approach (OSS RBA) system. Governed by Government Regulation (GR) No. 28/2025, these changes represent a major milestone in enhancing the national investment climate by aligning regulatory frameworks with modern business practices.
The transformation aims to ensure regulatory certainty, streamline administrative hurdles, and restructure the licensing framework for better efficiency and transparency.
What’s New in the OSS RBA System?
The updated system introduces three core structural changes designed to improve responsiveness:
- Service Level Agreement (SLA): To prevent administrative stagnation, the system now provides specific timeframes for licensing completion. If an authority fails to process an application within the SLA, the system allows the applicant to proceed to the next stage automatically. This applies to basic requirements such as KKPR, Environmental Approval, PBG, and SLF.
- Restructured Licensing Procedures: The process is now more clearly divided into two distinct phases: the Business Initiation Stage and the Business Operation Stage.
- Partnership Subsystem: A new feature that enables corporations to explore partnership opportunities and fulfill mandatory cooperation requirements with Cooperatives and MSMEs.
Expanded Sector Coverage
Since the enactment of GR No. 28/2025, several specific business sectors are now officially processed through the OSS RBA system:
- Legal Metrology
- Creative Economy
- Geospatial Information
- Cooperatives
- Administration of Electronic Systems and Transactions
- Investments
Revenue Diversification: Supporting Business Activities
Under Article 210.3.a. of GR No. 28/2025, there is a significant shift in how income is recognized. Income generated from supporting business activities can now serve as a legitimate source of income for corporations.
This provides businesses with greater flexibility to leverage auxiliary activities as formal revenue streams, opening new doors for growth, diversification, and operational optimization.
What This Means For Your Business While the updates provide a more detailed and structured interface aimed at clarity, the implementation process may initially become more complex as corporations adapt to the new requirements.
To navigate these regulatory shifts successfully, companies are encouraged to rethink their operational strategies and ensure their business licenses are fully compliant with the restructured framework.
