The Lok Sabha on Monday passed three bills without discussion -- the Limited Liability Partnership (Amendment) Bill, 2021, the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (Amendment) Bill, 2021, and the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2021, amid ruckus in the house.
Soon after the Lok Sabha resumed at 12:30 pm Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman moved for considering and passing the Limited Liability Partnership (Amendment) Bill, 2021.
The Bill aims to amend the Limited Liability Partnership Act 2008. It proposes to decriminalise 12 offences under the Limited Liability Partnership Act and foster ease of doing business in the country.
"The Bill is a very important bill which aims to bring the ease of doing business between smaller and big partners. Many criminal offences will also have been brought down to the minimum, where it is compoundable, we will compound them," Sitharaman said.
