<h1>India Simplifies Business Regulations with Jan Vishwas 2.0, Decriminalizing Minor Offences to Boost 'Make in India' Initiative.</h1> The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) is developing Jan Vishwas 2.0 to enhance the 'Make in India' initiative by simplifying business regulations. The Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act, 2023, decriminalizes minor offences across 42 Central Acts, removing 183 criminal provisions from 19 Ministries/Departments. This reform introduces civil penalties for minor lapses, reducing legal hurdles and fostering a business-friendly environment. Passed by Parliament and receiving presidential assent in August 2023, the Act aims to modernize India's regulatory framework, aligning it with global standards and boosting investor confidence.
