Union Minister Piyush Goyal is set to move a motion on Tuesday in the Lok Sabha seeking permission to withdraw The Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, 2025 as Parliament continues the second phase of discussions on the Union Budget 2026-27. The bill, first introduced in 2025, is proposed to be withdrawn in order to revise several legal provisions aimed at decriminalising certain offences and simplifying regulatory rules. The objective is to strengthen trust-based governance and improve ease of living and ease of doing business, in line with recommendations made by a Select Committee, according to the revised list of business for the day.

Kiren Rijiju and Congress MP Kodikunnil Suresh will present a motion to adopt the Fifteenth Report of the Business Advisory Committee, which was submitted on March 16.
