The Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill 2025 was presented in the Lok Sabha on Monday, aiming to decriminalise various minor offences to facilitate ease of business and living. Introduced by Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal, the bill seeks to foster a more trust-based governance model.
Following its introduction, the bill was sent to a Select Committee for further examination. Meanwhile, opposition members disrupted proceedings, calling for discussions on other pressing matters. Despite the uproar, the bill's focus remains clear: promoting business-friendly reforms.
This proposed legislation is a continuation of the government's strategy to amend existing legal frameworks, following the Jan Vishwas Act 2023, which decriminalised 183 provisions across 42 laws. The government's objective is to create a more conducive business environment by revising over 350 provisions through the new bill.
