The Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Bill that seeks to
punish bribe givers for the first time with imprisonment of up to a maximum of
seven years was passed by Rajya Sabha. However, to protect persons who give
bribe under coercion, the bill has provided that “the person so compelled” would
have to report the matter to the law enforcement authority or investigative
agency within seven days. The Bill will now put up before the Lok Sabha.
