The government on Friday introduced the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, 2026 in the Lok Sabha. Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Jitin Prasada introduced the Bill which seeks to amend provisions to decriminalise and rationalise minor offences, thereby improving ease of doing business and living. The Minister introduced the Bill after incorporating recommendations from a select committee. The scale of this reform is substantial. The Bill proposes to amend 79 central acts, administered by 23 ministries. A total of 784 provisions are being proposed to be amended, out of which 717 provisions are being decriminalised to foster ease of doing business and 67 provisions are being proposed to facilitate ease of living. It also proposes rationalising penalties and setting up appellate authorities. This exercise builds on the success of the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act, 2023, which was the first consolidated legislation to systematically decriminalise minor offences across multiple Acts.The 2023 Act decriminalised 183 provisions in 42 Central Acts administered by 19 ministries/departments. So, what does this next phase of reforms really mean for businesses, governance, and citizens? And can decriminalisation truly transform India’s regulatory landscape?
