For these rankings, Transparency International’s experts assess public sector corruption in each country. Each country is then given a score between 0 to 100. The more corrupt the country, the lower the score. Ranking is decided on this basis. India scored 39 in the 2023 report, compared to 40 in 2022. India has dropped 8 places due to just one point.

Editorial Perspectives

• 85 ^th rank of India last year itself was a matter of concern, but it was not taken seriously, and corrupt people were not punished. Because of these reasons, corruption has increased in India.
• Unless and until the death penalty is given to corrupt people in India, there is little possibility of a positive change in this situation.
