India's rank in the World Bank's ease of doing business index improved to 63 in 2019 from 77 in 2018, according to the document. Key reforms contributing to this included digitizing land records, introducing online checking of encumbrances, and mandating a simplified SPICe form to integrate various business registration services. Reforms were also implemented to ease the starting of business like reducing fees and eliminating requirements for seals and inspections. While progress has been made, further reducing corruption, bureaucracy and other impediments could help India improve its business environment more.
