A quick note on how to read this: a bill becomes law only after it’s passed in identical form by both Houses and receives Presidential assent – so “Passed by Both Houses” above means enacted-in-substance, pending formalities; “Passed by LS, pending RS” means it still needs Rajya Sabha’s nod (and could return to Lok Sabha if amended there).
