This exercise is likely to have a large-scale impact across society, the Government of India is doing a stakeholder consultation exercise. Hence, to have overall consensus, the Department of Financial Services of the Ministry of Finance, which administers the Acts and Statutes as shown in the images in front of you, invites the comments of State Governments/ UT Administrations, Civil Society/ NonGovernment Organisations, Academicians, Public and Private Sector Organisations, Multilateral Institutions and members of the public to submit their suggestions to the Department. 

The Government’s said communication dated 8th June 2020 running into 18 pages in publicly available on several websites, you may just google search. The said communication lists out relevant Acts administered by the Department and their specific Sections containing criminal provisions with an adjacent column/table to add suggestions, comments and rationale.
Overall a great move by the Modi Government. I request all the viewers to overwhelmingly send in your comments and suggestions in order to support this highly called for the progressive measure.
