Meeting with central Government bodies regarding compliance reduction and deregulation
Sir,
I am directed to refer to the above mentioned subject and to state that:
(1) Recommendation No. 1: The State Governments may consider allowing licenses for manufacturers and dealers of weights and measures to be approved automatically based on self-declaration without requiring a government inspection. There should be no requirement for renewal of license. Similar process may be adopted for manufacturers and packers of pre-packaged commodities.
Submissions: It is submitted that the Jan Vishwas Act, 2026 notified on 08.04.2026 came into force with effect from 01.05.2026 vide Notification S.O. 2103(E) dated 27.04.2026 (copy enclosed), whereby the existing licensing system has been replaced with a registration-based framework.
