Governance
obstructing rules
Reforms have not
improved the ease of doing business in India and everybody knows why. There has
to be a check on the still pervasive inspector raj.
ajay Jain and
Saurabh Jain regret the day they decided to shift their textile industry from
Jind (Haryana) to Greater Noida (Uttar Pradesh). Unlike Haryana, where they
bribed inspectors of 10 different departments—industries, labour, ESI, PF,
sales tax, fire and safety, pollution, excise, weight and measurement, and
electricity—systematically, in Greater Noida the demands are arbitrary.
For instance, in Jind they paid a specific amount to
the labour enforcement officer through their industry association every quarter
and had the Deputy Labour Commissioner playing mediator in case of a dispute
between an industrialist and an enforcement officer.
