Tamil Nadu Bill Sets 21-Day Cap on Business Clearances

Tamil Nadu has proposed a new Bill about how quickly businesses should receive government clearances.

It says many clearances should be processed within 21 days.

If a rule currently allows more than 21 days, the time could be treated as 21 days.

If a rule has no deadline, the 21-day limit would also apply.

Public and local holidays would not be counted in those 21 days.

Rules that already require 21 days or less would stay the same.

Longer deadlines required by a Central Act would continue to apply.

The Bill also proposes a commission led by the Chief Secretary to watch over very large and important investments.
