Lok Sabha Gears Up: 3 New Bills This Monday
30 Nov
Summary
- Three new bills to be introduced in Lok Sabha on Monday.
- One bill aims to align Manipur's GST with central slabs.
- A new cess will fund national security and public health.
Parliament's winter session commences on Monday with the Lok Sabha scheduled to introduce three new bills. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will lead the tabling of these legislative proposals, signaling a proactive start to parliamentary proceedings.
The first bill, the Manipur Goods and Services Tax (Second Amendment) Bill, 2025, aims to synchronize Manipur's state GST regulations with the revised central GST slabs. Concurrently, the Central Excise (Amendment) Bill 2025 seeks to streamline and simplify existing frameworks for goods manufactured in India that fall outside the central GST purview.
A notable addition is the Health Security and National Security Cess Bill, 2025. This bill proposes to levy a new cess on specified manufactured goods to bolster the Centre's financial capacity for national security and public health initiatives. Additionally, Sitharaman is expected to present supplementary demands for grants.
