Delhi Cabinet clears Ease of Doing Business Bill; no routine checks for 3 years
The Delhi Cabinet has approved the 'Ease of Doing Business Bill, 2026' to simplify regulatory processes for new enterprises. The legislation introduces a single-window clearance system and eliminates routine inspections for three years to foster a trust-based relationship between the government and businesses.
Why it matters
This policy shift aims to significantly reduce bureaucratic hurdles and attract investment by moving from a control-based regulatory model to one based on self-declaration and trust.
The Delhi Cabinet has approved the Delhi Ease of Doing Business Bill, 2026 to bring “fundamental changes” to the process of obtaining approvals, registrations, licences and other clearances to set up enterprises in the Capital, the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) stated in a release on Wednesday.
The statement quoted Chief Minister Rekha Gupta as saying that the most important feature of the proposed law would be a single-window system to facilitate approvals, registrations, no-objection certificates (NOCs), consents, licences, and other clearances through a simple and user-friendly portal.
Using the single-window clearance system, businesses will also be able to obtain sanctions for building plans, approvals from the fire department, and water, drainage and electricity connections, the CMO added.
