New bills are being approved in the Telangana province. Leading in a new era of transparency through a single-window approval for building permissions in urban areas, the State Legislative Assembly unanimously passed the Telangana State Building Permissions Approval and Self Certification System (TS-bPASS) Bill on Monday. The Bill, which attempts to cause revolutionary reforms that will put an end to endless wait and bureaucratic hurdles in obtaining building permissions, was defined as a uniform law by Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister KT Rama Rao while proposing the Bill in the House.

KTR was quoted saying, ''It will facilitate citizens to take up the construction of their houses through self-certification. If the authorities don’t sanction the building permission within 21 days, then the permission is deemed to have been given. The TSb-PASS is a self-certification system that will make citizens responsible and ensure that they adhere to the building and layout permission rules of the State government. As per the new law, no building permit is required for plot areas measuring 75 sq.yards and building height up to 7 metres. But, the applicants must register with the urban local body concerned using TS-bPASS by paying a token fee of Rs 1.”
