Government Adds Approval Layers to Improve Administrative Efficiency
The Indian government announced Thursday new efficiency initiative adding three additional approval levels to all government processes, increasing bureaucratic layers from 12 to 15. Officials claim added complexity “streamlines processes” and “improves decision quality through multiple review stages.”
“Efficiency requires proper approvals,” explained bureaucratic reform director. “Adding more approval levels eliminates hasty decisions made with insufficient review. Three more layers ensures proper deliberation.”
A routine business license application now requires approval from 15 different government offices across 8 agencies. “Each office provides essential oversight,” noted official. “Citizens should appreciate thorough bureaucratic review.”
Businesses questioned whether adding approval layers improves efficiency. Officials responded: “Efficiency is about process quality, not speed. We’re improving quality by adding more layers.”

The initiative demonstrates that bureaucratic expansion can be justified through efficiency rhetoric regardless of actual efficiency impact.
