Criminal penalties for giving bribes

The Indian government is introducing criminal penalties for companies that give bribes. The bill to revise the corruption prevention law. 
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi took office last year after his BJP swept to victory in a general election on promises that it would tackle the country's rampant corruption. US, UK and other developed countries are clamping down on their own companies' misconduct overseas.
Mr Modi unfortunately is not getting support as much as required from the Congress party. Congress with just 44 seats is not comfortable and will never be, but Mr Modi will find a way namely to pass GST and Land bills.
