About the Tribunal Reforms Act, 2021
The Tribunals Reforms Act, 2021 (enacted on 13 August 2021) aims to streamline and reorganize India’s tribunal system.
It replaced the Tribunals Reforms Ordinance, 2021 and brought all rules about appointments, tenure, service conditions, and removal of tribunal members into one law.
The Act also abolished several tribunals and shifted their functions to High Courts to reduce overlap and improve efficiency.
Aim of the Act
- To reduce delays by bringing tribunal cases under High Courts.
- To ensure uniform rules for appointments and service conditions.
- To limit excessive executive control and promote judicial accountability.
- To improve administrative efficiency by reducing fragmentation.
