The Telangana State Building Permission Approval and Self Certification System (TS-b PASS) Act, 2020

General202029 sections

The Telangana State Building Permission Approval and Self Certification System (TS-bPASS) Act, 2020 establishes a streamlined, single-window online system for urban building permissions and land layout approvals across Telangana. Applying to property owners, real estate developers, licensed technical personnel, and municipal authorities, it simplifies construction clearances by introducing self-certification for small to medium residential developments and fixed timelines for larger commercial or high-rise projects. Applications not decided within set timeframes receive deemed approval. This legislation matters because it reduces administrative red tape, speeds up construction approvals, enforces accountability against illegal constructions, and penalizes false declarations or fraudulent submissions.
