States get incentives to develop ease of doing business

By TIOL News Service

NEW DELHI, MAR 16, 2017: THE Central Government is committed to give a helping hand to States, so that India's business regulatory environment can be further improved.

Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion organized a Brain Storming Session on 16th November 2016 to discuss "Assessment of State Implementation of Business Reforms, 2017" on the following issues:

i) Suggestions on next set of reforms - Addition, Deletion and Modification

ii) Evaluation methodology for the ranking

iii) Incorporation of private sector feedback on the implemented reforms

Further, states with more than 90% implementation of reforms have been requested to handhold and guide the reform process in States/UTs with less than 40% implementation of reforms as detailed below:-

S.

Partner States (with more than 90% implementation score)
States (with less than 40% implementation score)
1. Telangana Tripura
2. Andhra Pradesh Kerala and Puducherry
3. Gujarat Dadar and Nagar Haveli and Andaman and Nicobar Island
4. Chhattisgarh Mizoram
5. Madhya Pradesh Daman and Diu

8. Rajasthan Lakshadweep

Jharkhand has been participating in such interactions and necessary assistance and way forward has been provided by the Central Government for implementation of reforms and improving the regulatory environment of the State.
