Rekha govt greenlights Ease of Doing Biz Bill
New Delhi: The Delhi Cabinet has approved the draft for the Ease of Doing Business Bill, 2026, that proposes self-certification for low-risk industries and no routine inspections for three years.
The proposed law will do away with the need for businesses to approach multiple departments for approvals, registrations, licences, No Objection Certificates (NOCs) and other permissions
The proposed law will do away with the need for businesses to approach multiple departments for approvals, registrations, licences,
No Objection Certificates (NOCs) and other permissions, the Delhi CMO said in the statement issued Wednesday.
A significant feature of the bill is the provision for deemed approval. If the competent authority fails to decide an application within the prescribed timeframe, the relevant approval, registration or NOC will be deemed to have been granted automatically, Gupta said.
The applicant will be able to download it directly from the online portal. This will eliminate unnecessary pendency of files and delays in decision-making.
A Single Window System will be established to provide all major business approvals, registrations, NOCs and utility connections through a single online portal.
Services such as building plan approvals, factory licences, fire clearances, water, sewer and electricity connections, RERA registrations and co-operative society registrations, among others, will be processed through this portal within prescribed timelines.
The bill was deliberated and passed in the cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday. The legislation, already approved by the Cabinet, has been sent to the Union Home Ministry for further necessary action, it said.
