Lok Sabha Passes Births & Deaths Bill

The Registration of Births and Deaths Amendment Bill, 2026, has been passed by the Lok Sabha without any debate. This move comes amid opposition protests in the house. The bill seeks to make the process of delayed registrations of births and deaths more stringent. The opposition had raised several issues, but the bill was passed nonetheless. The Rajya Sabha, however, was adjourned for the day due to disruptions caused by opposition members.
