Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has said that an erroneous commercial decision of a public servant cannot always be seen as corrupt. He said that the amendments to the anti-graft law would protect the honest bureaucrats. <br/><br/>He said the amendments to the anti-graft law have been brought to Parliament and the select committee has suggested some marginal changes in its report. <br/><br/>He was speaking at an award function organised by Business Standard in Mumbai this evening. He said the current Prevention of Corruption Act was drafted in 1988 during the pre-liberalisation era in line with the erstwhile needs of the system. <br/><br/>The minister said the fundamentals of the anti-graft law in the liberalisation era have to be changed, where public servants, bankers and politicians are involved in taking commercial decisions now.
