Good Luck.
The Indian government will scrap 287 obsolete laws that date to the 19th century, when India was under British rule. India's Law Minister Ravi Prasad is overseeing a "clean-" of India's legal system. He has been instructed Prime Minister Narendra Modi to streamline the statute book and make India an easier place which to live and do business. India's legislature is mired hundreds arcane laws introduced the times of the British Empire. Mr Prasad called some the laws "laughable" and had "no place in a modern and democratic India". Prasad has a tough task of him. Even this initial cull, the country will still have thousands regulations that are obstacles business.

The repeal the laws will take effect November. After then, it will no longer be illegal to fly a kite police permission. A 1934 law classified a kite as an aircraft. A law that is a constant source irritation to factory owners is one that requires them to have red buckets full water and sand, even if their buildings are equipped state-of-the-art sprinkler systems. Another oddity to go is the Motor Vehicles Act, that says a car safety inspector must have clean teeth. Also going is the Registration Foreigners' Act, 1939, which requires foreigners staying India more than 180 days to report his/her movements. This should give a boost India's tourism industry.
