Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced during the Union Budget 2025-26 that the government plans to introduce this bill to decriminalize over 100 outdated legal provisions.

Key Highlights of the Bill

The bill focuses on the decriminalising of various small violations and minor offences under various labour laws.

The bill promotes the corrective measures instead of punitive actions.

It helps businesses comply with the laws with integrity, rather than out of fear of imprisonment or punishment.
