The TS-bPASS is a first-of-its-kind for issuing building and layout permissions meant to put in place an effective mechanism to enable instant permissions and registration of buildings avoiding hassles to land owners and property devolopers. The decision comes in view of the plight of the common man wishing to build a house for himself avoiding the time consuming approval process at present.

While the constructions in plot size upto 75 sq.yards are give instant registration and require no permission, buildings in plot size upto 600 sq.yards are given instant approval. Around 95 per cent of building permissions fall under instant registration and instant approval categories. Residential, all non-residential buildings and layouts in more than 600 sq.yards, will be given Single Window approvals in 21 days under TS-bPASS.

The TS-bPASS is the first and fully-automated Self Certification System in the country facilitating complete transparency and citizen ownership. Besides implementing uniform rules across the State, all the No Objection Certificates (NOCs) are provided under a single roof. The post verification process for scrutiny of all applications submitted under instant registration and approval categories, also will be in a simplified and time-bound manner.
