With an aim to provide ease of doing business in Telangana, the state launched the Telangana State Industrial Project Approval and Self-Certification System, also known as TS-iPASS, in June 2015, for quick processing of applications and to provide clearance from various departments through a single-window mechanism. Through this system, enterprises can self-certify and get approvals for business establishment in the system within a few days.
