“You should not try to export …”: The businessman calls for the export system in India.

The Indian government often recounts improvements in “ease of doing business”, but the last frustrated entrepreneur has sharply challenged this novel, highlighting the broken bureaucracy in export directly to international customers (B2C Exports).

Ease of doing business for reality

In a publication entitled “Why should you not try to export from India Vent & Rant”, the Reddit user detailed his ordeal for four years, declaring, “All talk about the ease of doing business is just talking and not walking. You are better to move to Dubai and export from there from India.”

The businessman, from a small Indian village, was initially successful, as he deals between 300-400 daily requests. His problems began when international customers showed attention in 2022. The complex requirements that he faced included obtaining an IEC certificate, registration on Icegate, securing the advertising code from the bank, and mandatory shipping through licensed assistants – the photography that he described as “irrational export of $ 30”.

It is punished for the tax and services tax twice for a rejected charge

The situation increased when a customer refused a shipment, prompting the Indian government to impose commodity and services tax fees twice – on the verge of the charge issued and again to return it. “We had to pay the tax of goods and services twice on a shipment that we did not win a single film,” he wrote, highlighting how the penal bases burden on small companies.

Other complications arose from a document called CSB 5, and the two exporters of the compulsory shipping bill must keep it. Due to the weak integration between customs systems, GST and RBI, in 2024 he discovered about $ 50 of “open” shipping bills. Each fee of $ 400 closed, with a total of $ 8 – more than 16 % of its rotation. Unable to meet the tight deadline, RBI distinguished his account inconsistent, freezing and ending his export operations effectively.

Silence from the authorities despite repeated appeals

Flasting, frequent attempts were not answered to help organizational bodies. The businessman wrote several times to RBI, and even presented detailed plans explaining his status to the Office of the Minister of Trade Pi -Joyal – just to receive silence in return.

ITC claims bureaucratic nightmares

Small companies often avoid calling for input tax (ITC) due to fears of provoking commodity tax, services and harassment. The businessman also noticed bitterly, “Frankly, we have no money, people or endurance to deal with another Berritical nightmare.”

India against the United Kingdom: a blatant comparison

With the highlight of the bureaucratic absurdity in India, his experience varied in establishing a UK -based company on British: “I can create a UK -based banking account and account in two days … sitting in India, I cannot create a company in two months despite bribes.”

He regretted the lost business opportunities of more than 50 rural women whose life improved through his work. Forced closure due to bureaucratic obstacles means that these workers have returned to their previous difficulties.
