Distrust of employers is bred into Indian policy
Context:
Jan Vishwas Bill Version 2.0 shifts in policy strategy from retail to wholesale filtering after next year’s general elections to further reduce corruption and accelerate good job creation.
The Problem: Regulatory Overreach and Corruption
- Labor Law Complexity: Labor laws, notably the Factories Act, contribute to a maze of over 8,682 imprisonment clauses, burdening employers.
- Selective Enforcement Breeds Corruption: Vaguely drafted laws enable corruption through selective enforcement, exploited by civil servants and election winners.
- Impact on Enterprises: Regulatory burden disproportionately affects high-productivity enterprises, promoting informality and hindering wage-focused economic challenges.
Jan Vishwas Bill 1.0: Incremental Reform
- Innovative Consolidation: The bill innovatively consolidated laws, distinguishing between "good" and "bad" jail provisions to combat corruption.
- Shortcomings of Retail Approach: A retail approach, relying on voluntary surrendering, defended the status quo, amending only 4% of relevant Central Acts.
- Strength in Identifying "Bad" Provisions: The bill showcased strength in identifying and eliminating 113 "bad" jail provisions through ministry reflections.
Jan Vishwas Bill 2.0: Strategic Shift
- New Strategy for Broader Impact: Jan Vishwas 2.0 proposes a shift from retail to wholesale filtering, introducing a diverse government committee to set impactful criteria.
- Committee's Role in Decriminalization: The committee will evaluate criteria for employer imprisonment, compelling ministries to remove provisions not meeting the set standards.
- Early Decriminalization Success: Decriminalization initiatives, like those by the Ministry of Company Affairs, have shown positive results, reducing judicial burdens and promoting efficient resolutions.
