Government decriminalises 79 central laws to ease business compliance. The bill removes jail terms for minor violations across diverse sectors including transport, mining, food safety, and municipal corporations. Instead of imprisonment, penalties will be replaced with financial fines. This covers over 1,000 provisions when combined with pending Companies Act amendments and new income tax law changes. The Cattle Trespass Act undergoes major overhaul, expanding definitions and redirecting fines to animal welfare. Motor Vehicle Act sees 20 amendments to reduce compliance burdens. The move aims to simplify regulations for businesses and individuals while maintaining legal accountability through financial penalties rather than criminal prosecution.
