<h1>India's World Bank Ranking Jump: Reforms Help, But Business Startups, Property Registration, and Tax Challenges Persist.</h1> India improved its World Bank Doing Business ranking from 142 in 2014 to 63 in 2019, driven by reforms like the Goods and Services Tax and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. Despite progress in areas such as construction permits and trading across borders, challenges remain in starting businesses, registering property, paying taxes, and enforcing contracts. The time to start a business has decreased, but regulatory hurdles persist, especially in the services sector. The turnaround time for ships at ports has improved, indicating potential for further efficiency gains. However, enforcing contracts and paying taxes remain time-consuming compared to other countries.
