THE TELANGANA STATE INDUSTRIAL PROJECT APPROVAL AND SELF CERTIFICATION SYSTEM (TS-iPASS) ACT, 2014
The Telangana State Industrial Project Approval and Self Certification System (TS-i PASS) Act, 2014
The TS-iPASS Act, 2014, is a legislative framework designed to simplify the process of setting up industrial units in Telangana. It replaces the traditional, multi-departmental approval process with a single-window system, allowing entrepreneurs to submit a Combined Application Form (CAF) and use self-certification to obtain necessary clearances. The Act mandates strict time limits for government authorities to process applications, failing which, approvals are deemed granted. It applies to all industrial undertakings within the state, excluding central enactments. For the ordinary citizen or business owner, this Act reduces bureaucratic delays, minimizes corruption, and provides a predictable, time-bound path to starting a business.
