India passes Jan Vishwas bill decriminalizing 784 minor legal provisions
India
India just passed the Jan Vishwas bill, which removes criminal charges from 784 minor legal provisions across 79 central laws.
Instead of facing police complaints for small mistakes, people and businesses will now mostly pay fines.
The idea is to make it easier to run a business and improve everyday life by cutting down on unnecessary legal trouble.
Piyush Goyal backs Jan Vishwas reforms
Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal called it a move toward trust-based governance, aiming to reduce legal headaches and harassment, especially for small businesses and traditional sectors like handloom.
The bill even encourages people with old cases to seek relief.
With more reforms under a potential third phase, this could mean less red tape and more focus on building your ideas.
