DEALING WITH CONSTRUCTION PERMITS
Pakistan's ranking in Dealing with Construction Permits has improved manifold from 166 in 2019 to
112 in 2020. The Lahore Development Authority has made revolutionary changes in its procedure of
getting construction permits by introducing online application and providing one window facilitation
to the applicant along-with keeping a check on ongoing services for further improvement. Many
changes are still in process and will improve the ranking further.
