HANDLING BUREAUCRACY

India is famous for its bureaucracy, and this frustrates all but the most experienced foreign investors.  The current government has pushed departments to simplify the rules and regulations governing doing business in India, and the introduction of a simpler Goods and Service Tax (GST) is a good example of the efforts. 

In fact, there have been improvements in almost all areas, and India jumped 30 places in the World Bank’s “ease of doing business” rankings for 2018. Even so, India’s bureaucracy “can be one of the most frustrating experiences for any Indian, let alone a foreign investor”. The tradition of requiring forms signed in triplicate is hard to break and it is taking a while to simplify the complex systems.
