  • SHANTI Act: assent December 2025; section 1(2) commencement by notification.
  • Draft 2026 rules are not final rules.

2-Minute Revision

Read authority, scope and status together. Participation remains subject to permissions and reserved activities. A statutory regulator needs operational capacity as well as legal powers. Track policy, oversight, operator and waste responsibilities separately. Do not infer complete commencement from assent or website upload.

5-Minute Revision

Classify an Act, a commencement notification, a draft rule and a parliamentary answer by what each establishes. Explain how a repeal claim can be premature. Draft a short reform assessment naming the evidence needed to verify implementation and regulatory capacity.
