Correct Answer - Option 3 : The Bill incorporates the recommendations given by the 21st Law Commission headed by Justice B.S. Chauhan.

The correct answer is option 3.

  • Prevention of Corruption Bill, 2018, sought to amend the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.
  • The major concern in the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 was that the person giving a bribe was legally proclaimed as a victim.
  • The Bill incorporates the recommendations given by the 20th Law Commission headed by Justice (retd) AP Shah in its 254th Report. Hence option 3 is incorrect.
  • The key features of the bill are-
    • The Bill makes bribing a punishable offence.
    • It redefines provisions related to criminal misconduct.
    • To conduct an investigation into an offence, it is mandatory to take prior approval of relevant Government or competent authority. 

  • In 2005, the UN Convention against Corruption provided for domestic rules and treatment to curb corruption.
  • It provides guidelines for enterprises to combat bribery.
  • 4th report of the 2nd Administration Reform Commission deals with concerns and solutions on the issue of corruption.
