Arbitration has been struggling to take off in India since the first Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. This is worrisome. From PM to vice-president, many have argued for a sound institutional arbitration process. Law minister Arjun Ram Meghwal recently even wondered why India can't become the hub for arbitration in the Asia-Pacific region. As efforts are made to ensure its take- off, a recent finance ministry notification has the potential to nix the Act. It prohibits automatic arbitration clauses in any procurement and requires that even if one is incorporated, it be for less than ₹10 cr. The primary reason behind this is GoI's unsatisfactory experience in arbitration. The alternative prescribed is mediation or the courts, whose track record in timely disposal is poor. Most contracts come with an arbitration clause because it is quick, and the awards are final. It is the choice for businesses not only in India but all over the world.
