Abstract
The article defines the very significant concept-corruption. The paper discusses the causes and consequences of corruption, especially in the context of India as a country with considerable regulations. In this paper it has been argued that the lack of transparency, accountability and consistency, and above all the institutional weaknesses provide fertile ground for growth of corruption in India. The paper further discusses some important steps that have been taken by the different regimes in India from time to time for corrupt free administration. It argues that if India wants to develop herself in a modern developed nation; then it needs to end the institutional weakness to curb the nuisance of corruption.
