Penalty-based regulatory reform reshapes multiple statutes through adjudication, appeals, graded sanctions, and updated enforcement language.
The Schedule to the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act, 2026 revises numerous enactments by replacing many criminal sanctions with penalty-based contraventions, introducing graded penalties, warnings, advisories, compounding in specified cases, and recovery of unpaid sums as arrears. It also creates or updates adjudication and appeal mechanisms, authorises designated officers to inquire into breaches and impose penalties after hearing, and modernises cross-references and terminology across the listed statutes.
