Assitt. Prof Pushpa Rani

Abstract :

In 2015, India was ranked 85th out of 175 countries in Transparency International‘s corruption perceptions index compared to its neighbors Bhutan (30th), Bangladesh (145th), Myanmar (156th), China (100th), Nepal (126th), Pakistan (126th) and Sri Lanka (75th). This is the second least corruption rank for India in the whole of South Asia. In 2013, India was ranked 94th out of 175 countries.The causes of corruption in India include excessive regulations, complicated taxes and licensing systems, numerous government departments each with bureaucracy and discretionary powers, monopoly by government controlled institutions on certain goods and services delivery, and the lack of transparent laws and processes.The Indian media is mainly owned by corrupt politicians and industrialists who also play a major role in most of these scams, thus misleading public with wrong information .The desire to pay lower taxes than those demanded by the state explains the demand side of corruption. The net result is that the corrupt officials collect ibes, the government fails to collect taxes for its own budget, and corruption grows.
