On August 6, 2024, the Rajya Sabha introduced the Boilers Bill, 2024, to replace the outdated Boilers Act, 1923. The bill, approved by the Union Cabinet on August 2, aims to enhance safety and streamline regulations for boilers. It decriminalizes certain offences, promoting ease of business, and introduces fiscal penalties instead of criminal charges for minor violations. The bill consolidates various provisions into six chapters for clarity, ensuring updated safety measures and better alignment with current needs. This move is expected to benefit boiler users, especially in the MSME sector.
