Ease of Doing Business (discontinued)
Discontinued in September 2021 after an external audit found bank leadership had pressured staff to alter the 2018 and 2020 rankings. India's last published position was 63rd in the 2020 edition. Kept here as a historical series with that caveat attached, because the '63rd' figure is still quoted as current.

India's final position before the index was discontinued. The World Bank stopped publishing Doing Business in September 2021 after an audit found leadership had pressured staff to alter the 2018 and 2020 rankings. This figure is still widely quoted as if current; it is six years old and the index no longer exists.
