Suggest, there should be a single government body, which will register the firm. This single body will forward and get the registrations done from various departments. The citizen has only to make lumpsum payment to this single body and wait for 15-20 days approx to finish off the formalities and start the functioning of the firm.
This will avoid unnecessary hassles for the citizen, who is interested in becoming an entrepreneur and also eliminate corruption in each department. more
