As this Bill is a purely consolidating measure, it is not necessary to deal with the clauses in detail, but it may be mentioned that it is proposed to omit provisions on the lines of Ss. 4 and 5 of the Act of 1920, as it is considered that the matters dealt with in these sections are sufficiently covered by the provisions of the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885, and the Indian Post Office Act, 1898. If this Bill is passed it will not be necessary to retain the Indian Acts, and provision is, therefore, made in clause 15 for their repeal." -Gazette of India, 1922, Part V, p. 210.

At the time of enactment, the Act was meant for the regulation of small capacity and low pressure Boilers, as then the boiler industry had not then developed sufficiently. Experience of the working of the Act has revealed certain practical difficulties. Apart from this, the progressively increasing industrialisation of the country in recent years has rendered the use of boilers of higher pressures and greater capacities inevitable and the existing Act and regulations are not quite adequate to meet present day requirements, especially in the matter of inspection. In view of these considerations and of the importance of boiler operation and maintenance, it is proposed to amend the Act suitably. 2, The Central Boilers Board which has been constituted under section 27Aof the existing Act deals mainly with matters concerning the registration and inspection of boilers.
