""There is still a license raj and the Delhi government wants to end it. To do business, small and big traders have to get about 50 licences. And the process of getting these licenses is very difficult" he said.
"Even if somebody gets it, it has be renewed annual from various agencies ranging from police to Delhi government's various departments. It's a source of corruption, " he added.
The committee, headed by principal secretary, finance, has to do its work by July 31.
