The State Government facilitates single window clearance and a universal over-riding permission that gives the right to enterprises to carry on with activities without barriers of any kind. Residential premises are allowed to set up IT units, particularly related to content industry and remote services. IT industries requiring electrical power up to 15 KVA can be established without any location restrictions. Procedures in respect of some of the existing regulatory legislation relating to labour, factories, shops and establishments for the IT related units have been rationalised.
