India’s Arbitration and Conciliation (Amendment) Act, 2021: cause, effect and concerns

The 2021 Amendment brought about two changes to the India Arbitration Act:

• It clarified that enforcement of an award can be unconditionally stayed if the court is satisfied that a prima facie case is made out that the award or the underlying arbitration agreement has been induced by fraud or corruption
• It removed the limits imposed by the 2019 Amendment Act on who can sit as an arbitrator in an Indian-seated arbitration.
