Where laws go to die: The case for institutionalised regulatory review in India
India, too, has its share of quirky regulations. Until recently, kite-flying required a permit under the Indian Aircraft Act of 1934, as kites were classified as 'aircraft'. Delhi barbers are still legally obliged to maintain a register of every haircut performed.
These outdated laws, often harmless on the surface, highlight a deeper problem: absence of an institutionalised system for regulatory review. Without mechanisms to periodically evaluate and repeal redundant laws, governance becomes riddled with inefficiencies, eroding public trust and creating unnecessary friction.
Redundant laws:
- Erode the rule of law by fostering legal ambiguity, enabling regulatory arbitrage and leaving citizens vulnerable to selective enforcement.
- Create fertile ground for bureaucratic rent-seeking.
- Impede administrative efficiency and stifle economic growth by creating a system prone to regulatory inertia.
- Deter investment and innovation by introducing unnecessary uncertainty.
