Details	Difficulty	Without any timelines for issuance of NOCs/Permits required for low-risk buildings, the process was inefficient which led to increased costs and delays in the construction process.
	Analysis	It was felt that there is a dire need to specify timelines for the issuance of NOCs/Permits to speed up the construction process.
	Solution	After the detailed deliberation, it was agreed that there should be a specific time limit within which the NOCs/Permits are issued. Accordingly, the competent authority notified the revised regulations.
