Congress MP Manish Tewari also submitted an adjournment notice seeking discussion on a new anti-defection law to curb mass political defections driven by opportunism, while allowing honest dissent. Lok Sabha is set to take up the Bankers' Books Evidence Bill, 2026 and the Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026 for passing, both tabled by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. The latter proposes amendments to the Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007, the Income-tax Act, 2025, and the Finance Act, 2026. Law Minister Arjun Meghwal is expected to introduce the Supreme Court (Judges) Amendment Bill, 2026 in Rajya Sabha, which expands the top court's bench to 38 and has already passed Lok Sabha.
