Govt to take firms´ feedback for states´ ease of biz ranking


The Union commerce ministry on Thursday said it will take feedback from businesses on implementation of reforms carried out by states while ranking them on ease of  doing business this year.
The ministry said Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion will carry out business to government feedback exercise this year.
As part of the exercise, "feedback will be taken from businesses on the quality of implementation of the reforms claimed by the states and Union Territories (UTs)," it  said.
It added feedback scores will be used to generate a ranking of states/UTs in terms of reform implementation.
"Such a ranking will be different from the last year´s ranking, which was a ranking of de jure reforms," the commerce and industry ministry said. De jure is used to  indicate that something is according to law.
