India ranked 85th out of 175 countries in Transparency International's 2015 Corruption Perceptions Index, showing some improvement but still having significant corruption issues compared to its neighbors.

    Corruption in India is a major issue that adversely affects its economy.

    [1] A study conducted


    by Transparency International in year 2005 found that more than 62% of Indians had first
    hand experience of paying bribes or influence peddling to get jobs done in public offices
    successfully.[2][3] In its study conducted in year 2008, Transparency International reports
    about 40% of Indians had firsthand experience of paying bribes or using a contact to get a
    job done in public office.[4]
    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.[5] In 2013, India was ranked 94th out of 175 countries. [6]
    Most of the largest sources of corruption in India are entitlement programmes and social
    spending schemes enacted by the Indian government. Examples include Mahatma Gandhi
    National Rural Employment Guarantee Act and National Rural Health Mission.[7][8]Other daily
    sources of corruption include India's trucking industry which is forced to pay billions in
    bribes annually to numerous regulatory and police stops on its interstate highways. [9]
    Indian media has widely published allegations of corrupt Indian citizens stashing trillions of
    dollars in Swiss banks. Swiss authorities, however, deny these allegations. 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 and using media for
    mudslinging against their political and business opponents. [10][11]
