The Ease of Business Bill was approved in Parliament, while opposition parties cautioned that a pending land scam could undermine its objectives.
The Ease of Business Bill cleared the parliamentary floor, receiving the necessary votes for passage. Lawmakers highlighted the bill's aim to simplify regulatory procedures and improve the overall business climate in India.
Opposition members, however, used the occasion to raise concerns about a high‑profile land scam that they say remains unresolved. They warned that any lingering irregularities in land allocation could dilute the intended benefits of the legislation and erode investor confidence.
The government reiterated that the bill is a step toward a more transparent and efficient business environment, urging stakeholders to focus on its implementation rather than political disputes. The passage marks a key milestone in the current administration's reform agenda.
