Seeking investments to boost growth, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday vowed a corruption-free governance, reasonable tax rates and non-discretionary allotment of natural resources to make it easier for companies to do business in India.
He asked the states to compete among themselves to provide most investor-friendly environment, saying ease of doing business is not merely a slogan. "For the actions that the Centre and states are taking, there is a huge amount of public support and the onus on all of us therefore is to open our doors wide for those investments," Jaitley said here at the Resurgent Rajasthan Partnership Summit 2015.
Stating that difficulty in doing business can dis-engine investors, he said it is necessary to ensure that governance becomes corruption free and discretions were reduced to the minimum.
