Govt. Committed To Improving Ease of Living: Modi

The Prime Minister made this observation in a series of posts on X by the Central government on its various reform initiatives. "Ours is a government committed to boosting 'Ease of Living', and this thread below gives examples of how we have worked in that direction. Our reform trajectory will continue with even more vigour in the coming times,” Mr Modi said.

With the hashtags #ReformInAction and #GoodGovernance, the central government said in the posts that the real test of reform is whether it reduces stress for people, and 2025 marked a clear shift in governance, with reforms focused on outcomes, not complexity.

In a series of posts, MyGovIndia said, “The real test of reform is whether it reduces stress for people. 2025 marked a clear shift in governance, with reforms focused on outcomes, not complexity. Simpler tax laws, faster dispute resolution, modern labour codes, and decriminalised compliance reduced friction for citizens and businesses alike.”

“The emphasis was on trust, predictability, and long-term growth, showing how well-designed policy can quietly improve everyday life.

Read the full thread to see how these reforms made life easier across sectors and for people on the ground," it said.

MyGovIndia also said that for millions of Indians, tax relief became real. Incomes up to `12 lakhs attract zero tax. Middle-class families now retain more of what they earn, giving them flexibility to spend, save and invest with greater confidence.

"Replacing the 1961 Income Tax Act, the Income Tax Act, 2025, streamlined compliance and brought clarity, transparency, and fairness to the direct tax system, making it more taxpayer-friendly and aligned with today's needs," it said.

MyGovIndia stated that small businesses can now grow without fear of losing benefits. Higher investment and turnover limits allow MSMEs to expand while retaining access to loans and tax incentives. This encourages scaling up, hiring more workers, and building stronger local enterprises.

"Rural employment now creates assets, not just wages. With extended guaranteed employment and a focus on village infrastructure, rural labour is now building permanent assets that strengthen communities and livelihoods," it said.

It noted that workers no longer need to navigate dozens of laws, as 29 labour laws were simplified into four clear codes covering wages, safety, social security, and relations.

"Rights are clearer, compliance is easier, and women benefit from assured maternity and workplace protections," it said, adding that the government also stated that GST has been made simpler for businesses and consumers alike.

"With streamlined tax slabs, easier registration, automated processes, and faster refunds, the next generation of GST reforms is improving ease of doing business. The impact is clear in record Diwali sales of `6.05 trillion and the strongest Navratri shopping in over a decade," MyGovIndia said, adding that it also said that businesses can now bring products to market faster.

It mentioned that with rationalised quality control orders, Indian manufacturers face lower compliance costs, improved efficiency, and greater strength in global markets. More room to grow for Indian businesses.

"The expanded definition of small companies reduced compliance burden and costs, allowing enterprises with turnovers up to `100 crores to focus on innovation and expansion," it added.
