New Delhi, April 3 Union Home Minister Amit Shah has described the passage of the Jan Vishwas Bill, 2026, in Parliament as a "giant step" towards enhancing ease of living and ease of doing business in India.

In a post on X late Thursday, the home minister said, "By reducing several legal provisions, the bill makes Modi Ji's vision of New India a grand reality by making life easier and business simpler for all."

Parliament passed the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, 2026, on Thursday to amend 784 provisions in 79 central laws to decriminalize and rationalize minor offenses in order to further improve the business environment and check harassment of people.
