EODB rankings are carefully evaluated by foreign investors when they look to start a firm in any country.

India’s performance in the 2019 Doing Business Study

India has been one of the biggest ‘improvers’ in the 2019 study, with its rank shooting up from 100 to 77 last year, among 190 countries. Its rank crept up from 142 to 77 in the five years from 2015 to 2019.
With a rank of 77/190, World Bank now deems India an easier place to do business in than BRICs peers such as Brazil (109) and South Africa (82), however, China has a better rank (46). India’s Doing Business Score is 67.23 out of 100.

India’s climb in the 2019 rankings seems to have come mainly from sharply higher scores on two ‘doing business’ indicators — securing construction permits and trading across the borders. It also made smaller improvements in starting a business and getting credit.

Doing Business Parameters – Areas India is yet to improve

India’s score remains dismal on registering property, where it ranks 166. While it takes 69 days to register a piece of property in India, in Newzealand this can be done in a single day!
Another major bottleneck in India is regarding paying taxes. While many Indian businesses make about 13 tax payments in a year (giving away as much as 53 per cent of their profits),  those in businessmen in Hong Kong make just three payments a year. The average tax rate across global economies is less than half of the Indian rate!

As we have already seen, the Ease of Doing Business study tries to capture the experience of small and mid-sized companies in a country with their regulators, by measuring the time, costs, and red tape they deal with.
To collect data, World Bank empanels experts from the largest business cities in each country (only Mumbai and Delhi are surveyed in India).
It has many rounds of interactions with the experts — typically lawyers, business consultants, accountants, freight forwarders, government officials — who can capture the experience of multiple businesses.
Each country is assigned a rank out of 190 based on the total score it earns on 10 key aspects of doing business
