Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will reply to the charges made by HDFC chairman Deepak Parekh at 4 pm today in North Block. The government needs to go into damage control after Parekh's indictment of the Modi government, and Jaitley is believed to have discussed the matter with the Prime Minister in the morning and got the call for a presser approved.

Pitching for relaxing 'administrative controls' to improve ease of doing business, top industry leader Deepak Parekh has said that impatience has begun creeping in among businessmen as nothing has changed on ground in first nine months of the Narendra Modi government.

He said the industry is still optimistic about the changes it expects from the Modi government, but optimism is not translating into revenues and there has been little improvement on 'ease of doing business' front so far.

Parekh, who is known as a guiding voice of the Indian industry and has been on a number of key government panels on various policy and reform matters, further said that 'Make in India' can't succeed unless it is made easier for people to do business here and the decisions are fast-tracked.
