Although, some of the policies like GAAR have not been exactly investor friendly, Indian Government has been coming up with policies to make India investor friendly. Initiatives like implementation of the eBiz Project, a Mission Mode Project under the National e-Governance Project, to provide an online single window  to investors & businesses for registrations, filing, approvals, clearances etc will increase FDI coming into India.

These Initiatives are expected to create a business and investor friendly ecosystem in India by making all business and investment related regulatory services across Central, State and Local governments available on a single portal, obviating the need for the investor or the business to visit multiple officers or a plethora of websites.
