India, March 30 -- The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) on Sunday stated that the amendments aimed to decriminalise minor civic offences and make municipal laws more citizen-friendly.

The statement comes against the backdrop of the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, 2026, which was introduced by Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Jitin Prasada in the Lok Sabha on Friday and proposes multiple amendments in the DMC Act.

The proposed changes seek to remove criminal penalties, including imprisonment, for minor violations and replace them with a more compliance-based framework. The move is intended to reduce harassment, cut litigation, and promote a more comfortable and business-friendly environment in the Capital.
