it appears that the proposed draft amendment of notaries 2021 bill has not been pssed nor has been enacted so far.

It means the Bill is still in a cold storage. The change is welcome but it requires proper pre Legislative consultation before passing as an act. Thenk you T.Kalaiselvan, for your responds.
