With reference to the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act, 2023, aimed at strengthening governance and enhancing the ease of doing business in India, consider the following statements:

1. It rationalizes regulatory compliance by decriminalizing minor procedural infractions and substituting imprisonment provisions with monetary penalties across more than 40 Central Acts.
2. It introduces an administrative mechanism empowering appointed Adjudicating Officers to assess and levy civil penalties without instituting criminal court trials.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

  1. A
    1 only
  2. B
    2 only
  3. Both 1 and 2Cevap
  4. D
    Neither 1 nor 2

Cevap

Both 1 and 2 are correct.
The Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act, 2023 was enacted to enhance both 'Ease of Living' and 'Ease of Doing Business' by overhauling the penal architecture of 42 Central legislations. It converts 183 minor criminal provisions—such as technical reporting defaults, clerical omissions, and procedural non-compliances—into civil liabilities subject to monetary penalties. To ensure swift enforcement without congesting the judiciary, the Act operationalizes an internal administrative adjudication process wherein designated Adjudicating Officers determine liability and impose statutory fines, with provision for statutory appellate authorities.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the legislative scope and decriminalization mandate of the Jan Vishwas Act, 2023.
The Act amends 42 Central Acts administered by 19 Ministries and decriminalizes 183 provisions by converting imprisonment and criminal sanctions for minor, procedural defaults into monetary penalties.
This establishes that the first statement is factually and legally correct.
2
Examine the institutional enforcement and dispute-settlement mechanism established by the Act.
The legislation institutes an administrative adjudication architecture where designated Adjudicating Officers conduct inquiries and levy financial penalties, bypassing routine criminal court litigation and reducing judicial pendency.
This confirms that the second statement is also factually and legally correct.
3
Synthesize the statement evaluations to arrive at the final answer.
Since both statements are correct, the choice containing both statements represents the valid conclusion.
Aligns the legal verification with the correct answer option.
