While the concerned Ministry/Department is responsible for formulating the policy content and objectives of a proposed law, the technical drafting of the Bill into precise legal language is primarily the responsibility of the Legislative Department within the Ministry of Law and Justice. This department provides the necessary legal expertise to ensure that the Bill is legally sound, consistent with the Constitution and existing laws, and accurately reflects the policy intent.
The Ministry of Law and Justice, specifically its Legislative Department, holds the core responsibility for the technical drafting of legislative Bills in India.
After the policy is decided by the concerned Ministry and approved by the Cabinet, the proposal is sent to the Ministry of Law and Justice for drafting. The draft Bill is then circulated, reviewed, and eventually introduced in Parliament.
