India’s ongoing efforts to simplify procedures, reduce paperwork, and replace imprisonment ‘with monetary penalties marka decisive shiftin ‘governance, enhancing predictability, lowering transaction costs, and signalling trust in citizens and enterprises. The Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act, 2023 and the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, 2025 embody this transition from a permission-and-penalty regime to a trust-based government.
