Budget session of Parliament concludes today

The Budget session of the Parliament came to an end on Wednesday with introducing 22 bils in Lok Sabha and 14 bills in Rajya Sabha.

This time the budget session was not frequently disrupted in the Parliament. Earlier, while addressing the BJP Parliamentary Party meeting, Modi said the Budget Session was a "winner" for his government as it could secure the passage of many bills, including the key GST legislations.

The first part of the session started on 31 January to 9 February and was washed out after the Opposition cried foul over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's demonetisation drive.

As of yesterday, 22 Bills have been passed in Lok Sabha and 14 in Rajya Sabha.

Prominent amongst these are 4 game-changer bills related to GST, the motor vehicles (amendment) bill, specified bank notes (cessation of liabilities) Act that denotified old Rs 1000 and Rs 500 notes, the payment of wages (amendment) bill, maternity benefit(amendment) act, enemy property (amendment and validation) act and the HIV AIDS (prevention & control) bill.
