Credai Hyderabad welcomes TS-bPASS

The Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India (Credai), Hyderabad, hailed the Telangana Government for launching Telangana State Building Permission Approval and Self Certification System (TS-bPASS) portal for building and layout permissions, in a transparent, time-bound manner.

TS-bPASS is a new reform introduced by Telangana State, doing away with endless wait and bureaucratic hurdles in obtaining building permissions, making approval more user-friendly by providing a streamlined online system for hassle-free, time-bound speedy approvals. Credai Hyderabad played a pivotal role in the formulation of the policy, with a thorough evaluation and inputs from all stakeholders for the smooth execution of TS-bPASS, P Ramakrishna Rao, president, Credai Hyderabad

The TS-bPASS was a self-certification system to make citizens responsible and ensure that they adhere to the building and layout permission rules of the State government. As per the new law, people constructing a building within 75 sq. yards land need not obtain any permission from the authorities concerned. However, they must register with the urban local body using TS-bPASS. Similarly, citizens can obtain instant permission for constructions to an extent of 75 sq. yards to 600 sq. yards through self-certification under TS-bPASS and commence their construction work.

The authorities concerned will examine the applications seeking permissions for building constructions in an area of more than 600 sq. yards and issue necessary permissions within 21 days.

"We welcome the launch of TS-bPASS, a pioneering initiative by the state government to provide, a single-window approval process for the real estate sector," said V Rajashekar Reddy, General Secretary, Credai Hyderabad.

Reddy further said, "We are extremely delighted at the series of measures taken by the Government of Telangana to help the real estate sector over the last few months."
