The committee will examine "Acts and Rules which may have become obsolete within the last 10 to 15 years".
The decision to set up the committee is a follow-up to PM Modi's first major statement after becoming Prime Minister that archaic laws hamper
governance and need to be identified and weeded out.
"The Prime Minister has approved the constitution of a Committee to carry out a review to identify obsolete laws," a PMO statement said here today.
"The newly-constituted Committee will examine all Acts recommended to be repealed by the Committee on Review of Administrative Laws", which had been appointed by Atal Bihari Vajpayee government in 1998," it added.
The PMO said Mr Modi has expressed concern that out of the 1382 Acts recommended for repeal by that Committee, only 415 have been repealed so far.
"He (Modi) has called for a focused and result-oriented exercise to systematically weed out archaic laws and rules," the statement said.
