The Corporate Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026 (Bill No. 85 of 2026), introduced in the Lok Sabha, is an omnibus legislation aimed at reforming key aspects of India’s corporate regulatory framework. It proposes amendments to two principal statutes: the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 and the Companies Act, 2013. Broadly, the Bill seeks to strengthen regulatory oversight, promote ease of doing business, expand the IFSC ecosystem, streamline merger and amalgamation processes, rationalise penalties by decriminalising procedural offences, and enhance governance standards for directors and key managerial personnels.
