Breaking News : રાજ્યસભામાં પણ પેપર લીક વિરોધી બિલ પાસ, હવે રાષ્ટ્રપતિની મંજૂરી બાદ કાયદો બનશે

According to TV9 Gujarati, the Rajya Sabha has officially passed the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026. This legislative move is part of a broader effort by the Indian government to curb paper leaks and systemic irregularities in public recruitment and entrance examinations. The bill now awaits the formal assent of the President of India before it can be enacted into law.

The proposed legislation introduces stringent penalties for those found guilty of engaging in or facilitating unfair practices during examinations. Under the provisions of the bill, offenders could face up to 10 years of imprisonment and fines reaching up to ₹10 crore. These measures are designed to act as a significant deterrent against organized cheating syndicates that have historically compromised the integrity of competitive exams across the country.

The passage of this bill follows ongoing public and political discourse regarding the reliability of examination processes in India. By establishing a robust legal framework, the government aims to restore confidence among students and job seekers who have been affected by recurring instances of paper leaks. Once the President grants approval, the new law will empower authorities to take decisive action against individuals and institutions involved in examination fraud, marking a major shift in the oversight of national testing standards.
