Winter Session of Parliament - Many Laws in the Making – What about DTC?
THE winter session of Parliament is to be held from 22 November through 21 December 2011. If the usual issues like 3G, CAG and other assorted respected jees would leave any time for legislative business, the Government has lined up more than 50 Bills for introduction, consideration and passing. Topping the legislative business would be the Lok Pal Bill 2011. There are other very important Bills like:-
++ The Judicial Standards and Accountability Bill, 2010.
++ The Constitution (One Hundred and Fourteenth Amendment) Bill, 2010 - To increase the age of retirement of the High Court Judges, by three years from 62 to 65.
++ The Chartered Accountants (Amendment) Bill, 2010. To enable members of three institutes to form Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) firms in accordance with LLP 2008.
++ The Constitution (One Hundred and Eighth Amendment) Bill, 2010, (already passed by Rajya Sabha). To provide reservation for women in Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies.
++ The Commercial Division of High Courts Bill, 2009, (already passed by Lok Sabha) - To provide for the constitution of a Commercial Division in the High Courts for adjudication commercial disputes and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.
++ The Prevention of Money Laundering (Amendment) Bill, 2011
++ The Electronic Delivery of Services Bill, 2011.
++ The Consumer Protection (Amendment) Bill, 2011.
++ The Companies Bill, 2011.
But the Direct Taxes Code (DTC) does not find a place in the list released by the Government? When are they going to pass it and implement it?
