Further consideration of the Chit Funds (Amendment) Bill, 2019 moved by Anurag Singh Thakur on 26 November. The Bill was moved to amend the Chit Funds Act, 1982, which regulates chit funds and prohibits a fund from being created without the prior sanction of a State Government.
The amendments have been made to facilitate the orderly growth of the chit fund sector to remove bottlenecks and enable greater financial access to people.
As per the legislation, the prescribed ceiling of aggregate chit fund amount for individuals has been raised from one lakh rupees to three lakh rupees. In the case of firms, the ceiling has been raised from six lakh to 18 lakh rupees.
Proceedings in Upper House that took place yesterday
The Rajya Sabha on Tuesday passed a bill on protection of rights of transgenders, which has faced strong opposition from the LGBTQI community, after a motion to refer it to a select committee of the Upper House was defeated. The Lok Sabha had passed the bill on 5 August.
The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill, 2019, seeks to provide a mechanism for social, economic and educational empowerment of transgenders and was moved for consideration and passage in the Rajya Sabha by Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Thawar Chand Gehlot on 20 November.
Replying to a discussion for further consideration of the bill, Gehlot said efforts will be made to incorporate the suggestions presented by members while framing the rules. He said a clause related to medical examination by a panel for a district magistrate (DM) or collector to certify a person as a transgender which was earlier part of the bill, has been done away with, after reservations were expressed by members in this regard.
Proceedings in the Lower House on Tuesday
The National Institute of Design (Amendment) Bill, 2019, was passed in the Lok Sabha on 26 November by a voice vote. It has already been cleared in the Rajya Sabha.
The Bill declares the four national design institutes in Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Assam and Haryana respectively as institutes of national importance.
Earlier in the day, President Ram Nath Kovind, Vice President Venkaiah Naidu, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the MPs on the occasion of Constitution Day. The President also inaugurated a digital exhibition through video conferencing.
However, the Opposition led by the Congress boycotted the joint sitting of Parliament as a mark of protest against the recent political developments in Maharashtra.
