It measures and tracks changes in regulations affecting eleven areas in the life cycle of a business: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, resolving insolvency and employing workers. Doing Business presents quantitative indicators on business regulations and the protection of property rights that can be compared across 185 economies, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, over time. The indicators are used to analyze economic outcomes and identify what reforms have worked, where and why. This economy profile presents the Doing Business indicators for India. To allow useful comparison, it also provides data for other selected economies (comparator economies) for each indicator. The data in this report are current as of June 1, 2012 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period January - December 2011).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SERVICESACCOUNTACCOUNTANTATTESTATIONBANK GUARANTEEBANK LOANBANKRUPTCYBANKRUPTCY LAWSBILLSBONDBORROWERBUSINESS ENTRYBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS INDICATORBUSINESS REGISTRATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONBUSINESSESBUYERCADASTRECAPITAL GAINSCERTIFICATECOLLATERALCOLLATERAL FOR LOANSCOLLATERAL LAWSCOMMERCIAL ACTIVITIESCOMMERCIAL BANKCOMMERCIAL BUSINESSCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPLIANCE COSTSCONTRACTORSCREDIT CARDCREDIT HISTORYCREDIT INFORMATIONCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMCREDIT SOURCECREDITORSDEEDDEPOSITDIGITAL SIGNATUREDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDOMAINE-GOVERNANCEE-MAILE-PAYMENTELECTRICAL ENERGYELECTRICITYELECTRONIC FILINGEQUIPMENTSFINANCIAL HISTORYFINANCIAL RESOURCESGOOD PRACTICEHARD COPYHOLDINGIDENTIFICATION NUMBERIMMOVABLE PROPERTYINCOME TAXINCOME TAXESINFORMATION SYSTEMINSPECTIONINSTALLATIONINSURANCEINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINVESTOR PROTECTIONLAND RECORDSLEGAL OWNERSHIPLEGAL RIGHTSLENDERLETTER OF CREDITLEVIESLICENSELIENSLIMITED LIABILITYLOCAL BUSINESSMACROECONOMIC CONDITIONSMARKET VALUEMATERIALMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTMORTGAGEMOVABLE COLLATERALNATIONAL SECURITIESNEW MARKETSNOTARYONE-STOP SHOPONLINE REGISTRATIONOUTSOURCINGOVERHEADPAYMENT OF TAXESPERSONAL ASSETSPHOTOPHYSICAL POSSESSIONPRIVATE CREDITPRIVATE CREDIT BUREAUPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR CREDITPROCUREMENTPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC REGISTRYPURCHASINGQUERIESREGISTRATION FEEREGISTRATION SYSTEMREGISTRYREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSREPORTINGRESERVERESULTRETURNSSALESSALES AGREEMENTSEARCHSECURITIESSERVICE PROVIDERSSHAREHOLDERSTAMP DUTYSUPERVISIONTAX DEDUCTIONTECHNICAL REQUIREMENTSTECHNICAL STANDARDSTELEPHONETELEPHONE CONNECTIONTELEPHONE LINETIME PERIODTRADINGTRANSACTIONTRANSACTIONS SYSTEMTRANSLATIONTRANSPARENCYTURNOVERUSERSUSESVERIFICATIONWAREHOUSEReportWorld Bank10.1596/26593
