The Lok Sabha on Thursday passed the Taxation and Other Laws Amendment Bill during the Monsoon Session 2026, amid protests from opposition members. The House was later adjourned for the day. The Rajya Sabha, meanwhile, was adjourned till 3:15 pm.
During the Rajya Sabha proceedings, the Chairman directed the Centre to convey certain sentiments to Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The specific context of the remark was not immediately detailed in the reports.
The passage of the bill came as opposition protests disrupted the proceedings in both Houses. The bill's passage in the Lok Sabha marks a significant legislative step during the session, though it remains unclear whether the Rajya Sabha will take it up later today.
The adjournment of the Lok Sabha for the day and the short break in the Rajya Sabha indicate the continuing tensions between the government and opposition during the session. Further updates are expected as the Monsoon Session progresses.
