Single-window approval mechanism
Andhra Pradesh is the first state in the country to have enacted the Single Window Clearance Act in 2002. The Act made it compulsory for new industries to register with the single-window to obtain clearances quickly. It also simplified procedures for getting industrial clearances.
Committees were constituted at district and state levels to communicate to the applicant, the status of their clearances. It has set time slots for issuing clearances and incorporated a provision for deemed approval after the expiry of time limit.
District level committees can clear investments not exceeding US$ 217, 391. State level committees can clear those exceeding US$ 217, 391.
Above the district and state level committees is an appellate committee headed by the Chief Secretary of the State Government who reviews and monitors disposal of applications. Overall, a State Board under the chairmanship of the Chief Minister oversees the progress of the scheme.
The maximum time taken to issue clearance of applications at all stages is 45 days. Violation of provisions of the Act made either through self-assessment or otherwise would invite a penalty of US$ 108 in the first instance and US$ 217 in the second instance.
