The government withdrew the Jan Vishwas (Amendment) Bill, 2025, from Lok Sabha after Select Committee review to incorporate detailed recommendations and improvements.
The bill aims to decriminalize minor offences across various laws by replacing imprisonment provisions with monetary penalties and fines.
It seeks to reduce the burden on courts, minimize litigation, and promote ease of doing business in India.
Withdrawal is a procedural step allowing the government to revise, refine and reintroduce the bill with stronger provisions.
The move reflects a shift towards trust-based governance, regulatory simplification, and improving the compliance environment.
