Ushering in a new regime From Jail to Compliance

Ease of doing
Good news; India’s textile sector is likely to be on the cusp of a significant regulatory reset—one that signals a more practical and business-friendly approach for the industry. As indicated/intended in the policy update, the long-standing provision under the Textiles Committee Act that may lead to imprisonment of up to one year (in limited sense decriminalization) for exporting or selling textiles or textile machinery in violation of prescribed orders is proposed to be done away a step in the direction of ease of conducting businesses.

Perspective 
In its wisdom, the government appears to be moving toward a graded compliance framework. For a first contravention, the proposal is to issue a warning instead of criminal punishment. For subsequent 
violations, however, the consequences remain serious, with a financial penalty of up to Rs 25 lakh as being proposed and envisaged.

This is a notable shift in regulatory philosophy. Rather than criminalising procedural lapses at the outset, the proposed framework recognises the need for ease of doing business, especially for an industry as impactful given that it is employment-intensive, and export-driven as textiles.

Writing on the wall 
For exporters, machinery suppliers, and manufacturers, the message/diktat is loud and clear: compliance..compliance..compliance; which remains non-negotiable, also enforcement may become more pragmatic/symmetric, proportionate, palpable and industry-sensitive. Hopefully once implemented effectively, this could reduce fear-based regulation/ ease of doing while still preserving accountability.
