LOKPAL AND LOKAYUKTAS (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2016 THE MINISTER OF STATE OF THE MINISTRY OF DEVELOPMENT OF NORTH EASTERN REGION, MINISTER OF STATE IN THE PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE, MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PERSONNEL, PUBLIC GRIEVANCES AND PENSIONS, MINISTER OF STATE IN THE DEPARTMENT OF ATOMIC ENERGY AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE DEPARTMENT OF SPACE (DR. JITENDRA SINGH) moving the motion for consideration of the Bill said: The Lokpal and Lokayuktas Bill, 2013 became an Act from January 2014. Amendment to the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Bill was brought in the Lok Sabha in December, 2014. Some of the provisions of this Act have created certain issues. This is the declaration of assets by several persons connected with non-government organizations which receive funding from foreign sources or get direct or indirect funding from the State. I propose an amendment in Parliament today in order to substitute the provision of section 44 which precisely deals with the declaration of assets and the provision of making the assets public. This is not the only amendment but the urgency of bringing an amendment pertaining to Section 44 arises from the fact that this has put a binding on us to stick to the deadline of July 31st for filling your assets, including the assets of the spouses and children and also making them public, and, not only the assets of the public servants but also assets of the NGOs. So, in order to overcome that technicality this amendment is being brought in. Of course, there are other amendments which can be taken up later on. SHRI MOHAMMAD SALIM: This is an important Bill and is being discussed in entirety in the standing committee. The government is expecting that the report would come in the next session. How did the government arrive at the conclusion that immediately this one section has to be amended. But it seems that the government is attempting to exempt the public servants from its provisions. Why is the government in a hurry to pass this bill without discussion by keeping the public servants and the members of Parliament out of its purview. SHRI KALYAN BANERJEE: In the Business Advisory Committee meeting we agreed for listing it on Tuesday. But we said we want to have a discussion. But we are not getting opportunity here to discuss it. Only in a very few places there are educational institutions which are doing this charity. It is all right the Bill is being passed without discussion. But for the benefit of the country please do not make any attempt to dilute the Act itself. Simply because an NGO is running a media house and therefore they should be kept beyond the scope of this Act is something which we are opposing. SHRI MALLIKARJUN KHARGE: There can be no two opinions that it is very urgent piece of legislation. The government has brought an amendment but the bill should not be diluted. Hence our request from the government is for clarification on this Bill. DR. JITENDRA SINGH : The Government is not against the Lokpal Bill. The Government is committed to work against corruption and to implement the Lokpal as it is approved by the House. The Government is ready to make it even more stringent if that is the recommendation given to us. The Bill was passed. BENAMI TRANSACTIONS (PROHIBITION) AMENDMENT BILL, 2015 THE MINISTER OF FINANCE AND MINISTER OF CORPORATE AFFAIRS (SHRI ARUN JAITLEY) moving the motion for consideration of the Bill said: Originally the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act was enacted in 1988 and had only nine Sections and any person who wishes to acquire an asset or a property must do it in his own name, with his money. If he acquires it in the name of somebody else, then, it is deemed to be a benami property. Even though two judgements of the Supreme Court came, this law has not been updated and put into effect. Benami transactions are prohibited and the State will have the power to acquire the benami property and that the person who enters into this benami transaction is liable to be prosecuted. When this law was framed, it was thought that everything else would take place by virtue of rules. This Act had to be operationalised through rules, and the rules were never framed. The reason why we want to amend the 1988 Bill because it was considered necessary that the old law be allowed to remain, and the new amendments be inserted into the old law itself. The amendment Bill has 71 Sections because we want the Bill to be operationalised from 1988 onwards. The Standing Committee among others gave a recommendation to lay down as to what are the exceptions to the benami principles. One exception which the law provided for was, properties held within an Undivided Hindu Family. The second amendment was in the event of a Trust, Trustee can hold the property as a fiduciary of the principal Trust. So, those would be exempted. We also considered the issue of properties acquired through power of attorney and that key amendment has been accepted by the Government. The principal object behind this Bill is to discourage benami transactions. It is predominantly an anti-black money measure that any transaction which is benami is illegal and the property is liable to be confiscated. I commend this Bill for discussion and acceptance of the hon. House. SHRI S.P. MUDDAHANUME GOWDA initiating said: Benami transactions are detrimental to the interest of this nation and benami transactions constitute a serious offence against the State also. So, prohibition is needed and prevention is also required equally. We have been hearing much about Indian Black Money in foreign countries. But to our surprise, we have got enormous and sufficient black money on our Indian oil itself.

A generation has passed since. The march towards globalisation that India hoped to ride is itself under question today. India’s politics, too, is mirroring these global transformations. The country has shifted from a period of multi-party coalitions to a single-party democracy. In a new de- globalising world, India still sees itself as a leading power—one that aspires to shape international outcomes rather than just acquiesce to them.
