Welcoming the Parliament’s decision on the long-awaited amendment in the Prevention of Corruption Act, Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) president Rashesh Shah has said that this will help in expediting the decision-making process in the government besides a revival in bank lending. India’s public sector bankers, struggling to deal with bad loans and investigative scrutiny of their commercial decisions, got a break with this decision.
Shah also said that the applicability of the law only if any official has accumulated assets disproportionate to his income or has misappropriated assets, will go a long way in protecting the honest officials from undue harassment. He concluded that overall, this will help in improving the ease of doing the business scenario in the country.
In order to prevent honest bankers from prosecuting agencies, the Parliament passed the Prevention of Corruption Act (Amendment) Bill, 2018, on July 24, 2018. The amendments propose significant changes to the anti-corruption law, ranging from redefining criminal misconduct to bringing collusive bribe givers under the lens of the investigative agencies.
