The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is a strong advocate of simplifying processes for the common men & repealing archaic laws which serve little purpose in recent times.
The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi sought minimum use of affidavits and shift to self-certification, so as to benefit the common man.In a citizen-friendly initiative, all Ministries and Departments of the Union Government, and all State Governments, have been asked to make provision for self-certification of documents in place of affidavits. The requirement of attestation by Gazetted Officer is also sought to be replaced by self-certification by the citizen.
The PM also constituted a committee to identify the archaic laws within 3 months. He has called for a focused and result-oriented exercise to systematically weed out archaic laws and rules.
