1. Chhattisgarh Adopts India's First Risk-Based Business Approval System

Legislative Framework: The Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly passed the Chhattisgarh Ease of Doing Business Act, 2026, making it the first state in India to adopt a statutory risk- and trust-based business permission framework.
Key Features & Operational Mechanism:
Risk-Based Categorization: Industries are classified into risk bands based on their size, operational scale, and nature of activity.
Self-Certification & Auto-Approvals: Low-risk enterprises can submit self-certifications or third-party certifications from authorized engineers/architects, bypassing routine physical inspections.
Deemed Approval Timeline: Clear statutory timelines of 30 to 60 days are established; failure by departments to respond within the timeframe triggers automatic deemed approval.
Abolition of Annual License Renewals: Completely eliminates mandatory annual permit renewals for eligible low-risk businesses.
Target Beneficiaries: Focuses on reducing compliance costs for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
Monitoring Structure: Implements a three-tier tracking system led by a Central Council chaired by the Chief Minister, supported by State (Chief Secretary) and District (District Collector) level committees.
