End red tape, inspector raj and CLU hassles for business
“Elimination of red tape; end of inspector raj; end of CLU hassles”
The verdict
The Assembly passed the Punjab Right to Business (Amendment) Bill in Sept 2025: in-principle approval in 5 days in approved parks and 15-18 days elsewhere, deemed approval and action on officials who delay. Its effect on inspections is not measured.
Rule applied: In progress: deadline not reached; rating is provisional and not counted in the final score
