Meanwhile, the Commerce Ministry has issued guidelines for export of all meat and its products as 'Halal certified'. Under this, they will be exported only when there is a valid certificate regarding its production, processing and packet. This certificate will be issued by a body recognized by the board of the Quality Council of India. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has proposed draft guidelines on Halal certification with an aim to streamline the Halal certification process for export of meat and meat products from the country.

At the same time, the central government is preparing to bring many changes in the bankruptcy law. Under this, the government aims to speed up the process and increase the scope of its already set framework. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), which came into force in 2016, aims at market-based and time-bound resolution of stressed assets. There have been several amendments to this code in the past.
