Parliamentary Panel Recommends Amendments to Corporate Laws to Ease Compliance and Governance
The Joint Parliamentary Committee on the Corporate Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026, has recommended adopting the legislation with modifications to simplify compliance, strengthen corporate governance, and modernize India's corporate regulatory framework. Key proposals include decriminalizing minor procedural defaults, easing Corporate Social Responsibility norms, enhancing the National Financial Reporting Authority's role, and facilitating trust conversions to LLPs. The panel also suggested lowering the minimum age for managing directors to 18 and raising the upper age limit to 75. Recommendations aim to align laws with global practices and promote ease of doing business.
