The High Level Clearance Authority, chaired by the Chief Minister, handles large projects over fifty crores, while the State Level Single Window Authority, chaired by the Chief Secretary, manages medium projects. Their primary role is to examine project proposals and direct government departments to issue necessary permissions and clearances within specific time limits, thereby simplifying the setup process for businesses.
