Jammu and Kashmir Introduces Bills to Simplify Business Operations and Amend Pension Laws

Srinagar, September 28 (Daily Kiran) : Jammu and Kashmir’s Chief Minister Omar Abdullah introduced several significant bills in the state assembly on September 28, aimed at simplifying business operations and amending pension laws.

During the ongoing autumn session, Abdullah presented a bill designed to decriminalize certain offenses and streamline legal processes. This legislation seeks to repeal outdated laws and clarify related provisions.

Additionally, the Chief Minister introduced the Jammu and Kashmir Ease of Doing Business Bill, 2026, which promotes a rules-based governance system rather than a permission-based one.
