KAPIL MISHRA, Minister (Tourism) STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS The National Capital Territory of Delhi (Incredible India) Bed and Breakfast Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2007 (Delhi Act No. 11 of 2007) was enacted to regulate and promote bed and breakfast establishments in Delhi. The said Act was subsequently amended by the Amendment Acts of 2010 and 2021. Over a period of time, the tourism and hospitality sector has undergone significant transformation, including the emergence of new forms of accommodation and evolving policy approaches. In this context, it has been considered necessary to discontinue the existing statutory framework governing bed and breakfast establishments and to replace it with a more flexible and facilitative policy regime. The Government proposes to revamp and re-initiate the regulation and promotion of bed and breakfast establishments through an executive policy framework, which would be implemented in a more liberalised and supportive manner, while continuing to ensure compliance with applicable laws relating to safety, public health, municipal governance and public order. A comprehensive policy in this regard is under formulation and will be placed before the Council of Ministers for approval. The repeal of the existing Act is proposed to be brought into force in alignment with the notification of the said policy. During the transition period, fresh registrations and processing of pending applications under the existing Act shall remain in abeyance. At the same time, matters relating to existing registrations, certificates issued, directories, records maintained by operators, grievance redressal, pending appeals and classification standards shall be suitably addressed under the proposed policy framework. Any penalties, liabilities, non-compliances or legal proceedings arising under the existing Act shall continue to be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the said Act. It is, therefore, proposed to repeal the National Capital Territory of Delhi (Incredible India) Bed and Breakfast Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2007 and its amendment Acts of 2010 and 2021. The Bill seeks to achieve the above objectives. Place: New Delhi Dated: KAPIL MISHRA, Minister (Tourism) MEMORANDUM REGARDING DELEGATED LEGISLATION Clause 1(2) of the Bill empowers the Government to bring the provisions of the proposed Act into force on such date as may be notified in the Official Gazette. The timing of enforcement is proposed to be aligned with the notification of the new policy framework relating to bed and breakfast establishments, which is presently under consideration of the Government. The power delegated is of a routine administrative nature and does not involve any excessive delegation of legislative power. No other provision of the Bill involves delegation of legislative power. KAPIL MISHRA, Minister (Tourism) FINANCIAL MEMORANDUM The Bill seeks to repeal the National Capital Territory of Delhi (Incredible India) Bed and Breakfast Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2007 and its amendment Acts of 2010 and 2021, and to facilitate a transition towards a policy-based regulatory framework. The proposed repeal does not involve any expenditure of recurring or non-recurring nature from the Consolidated Fund of the National Capital Territory of Delhi. The proposed policy framework shall be implemented through administrative measures and existing institutional mechanisms. Any expenditure, if required for implementation of the policy, shall be met from within the approved budgetary allocations of the concerned Department. Accordingly, no additional financial implications are involved in the enactment of this Bill. KAPIL MISHRA, Minister (Tourism) Dr. YUMNAM ARUN KUMAR, Secy.
