By harmonising central and state level reforms through integrated platforms, India offers a world class gateway where data flows effortlessly across departments, reducing both time and cost of doing business, the officials said.

India's Udhyam registration portal epitomises the ease of doing business by offering a free paperless, and self declaration-based system for MSMEs.

By efficiently integrating with Central Board of Direct Taxes and GST Network databases, it provides a fully digital documentation-free experience that eliminates administrative hurdles.

Backed by a strong digital infrastructure, the government has further strengthened EoDB reforms through the Business Reforms Action Plan (BRAP), the officials said.

The BRAP was designer to compare regulatory requirements across states and encourage them to reduce compliance burdens and create a more business-friendly environment.
