bonds Bond price wld fall
So, FPIs started to sell need for reforms
b. Short-term investment limit in G-secs, GoSs and corp. bonds from 20% to 30%

4th ed. of EoDB rankings of the states by
DPIIT (Mo Commerce) + WB
a. Based on impl. of BRAP (Business
Reform Action Plan)
b. Why are business reforms
important for India?
i. WB: corruption, electricity,
tax rates, practices of
competitors in the informal
sector, and access to
finance, as the biggest

obstacles to firm performance in India


ii. The performance of manufacturing awa
key regu interfaces varies significantly across
Indian states
iii. To inc share of manufacturing in GDP to
25% by 2022 (Make in India) and create 100M
jobs
iv. State variance provides a useful baseline
for identifying for improvement for ind.l
development
c. How rankings done?
MoC BRAP (80 reforms, 187 reform points, 12 business regu areas) states
implement it states submit proof of impl. and give list of users survey on
users rank
User-based/ feedback-based ranking system
d. 12 business regulatory areas (useful as key words in answers):
1. Basics:
SEZ is a geographic area in which the business and trade laws are different from the
rest of the country (DTA)
Aim: BoT, Invst, Jobs
2. Evolution: CHN- explain Kandla EPZ SEZ Rules 2000 SEZ Act 2005
3. Assessment:
a. Taxation: uncertain, grey areas, custom duties in domestic sales, MAT+ DDT,
Sunset clause
b. Labour laws: Just like DTA
c. Investment: Mostly service SEZs low invst reqd.; very very low invst in manuf
d. Emplt: Urban only; no obligation to create emplt; not enough manuf emplt
e. Global competition: many units migrated to ASEAN, CHN, etc. as better policies
f. Un-utilised assets: 50% SEZ is vacant; many have exited abroad; many closing
due to COVID; Idle assets cld further worsen the banking crisis.
4. SEZ in India—success or failure
a. On the face of it, SEZ looks impressive.
i. 240 SEZs are operational with total investment of 5.37Trillion rupees
ii. 2M emplt created
b. But policy has been less than successful:
i. Agitations over land acquisition
ii. Controversies over adeq compensation to farmers
iii. Not improve devpt indicators near areas of operation
iv. Politics in site selection
5. Baba Kalyan committee (2018)
a. SEZ philosophy from EX-oriented to broad-based emplt+ growth approach (Emplt
and Economic Enclaves)
b. Extension of sunset clause beyond 2020; retain tax benefits earlier withdrawn
c. Develop integrated ind.l. and urban development
d. Formulation of separate rules and procedures for manuf and service SEZs
e. Infra status to SEZs to improve access to finance
f. Dispute resolution through arbitration+ commercial courts
g. Procedural relaxations for developers+ tenants to improve exit issues
h. Flexibility of long-term lease for developers and tenants
6. Suggestions for SEZ:
a. India wld have to find alt str of incentives for SEZs, not be linked to EX income
Incentives for units in SEZs can be based on other performance indicators like
emplt, invst in R+D, etc. (to make it compatible with WTO)
b. Focus: provide incentives for adopting green+ sustainable business practices—
imp to cater to key EX mkts like US, EU
c. Complementary facilities such as certification and lab testing shld be subsidised
d. Duties on goods from SEZ to DTA shld be at par with FTA partners’ tariffs
e. Infra status to all components in SEZ for better financing
f. E-governance, easy exit,
g. Permission for domestic units to op from non-processing area without availing
indirect tax exemptions.
h. Flexibility of utilisation of non-processing area (dual) for social infra creation
i. Model: GIFT SEZ;
