New IT Bill, Mines Law, & More – Full List of Key Bills on Modi Govt’s Agenda as Parliament Monsoon Session Begins
India’s Parliament reconvened today, July 21, for the Monsoon Session of 2025 after a break of more than three months. Both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha gathered at 11 AM with a packed legislative agenda that includes 15 key bills, addressing new reforms and critical governance matters. This session will run until August 21.
This is the first session following Operation Sindoor, India’s targeted response to terror camps in Pakistan, launched after the Pahalgam attack that resulted in the deaths of 26 people.
Opposition’s Challenges and Government’s Focus
The opposition coalition, known as the INDIA bloc, is preparing to challenge the Modi-led NDA government on several issues. A major focus will be on demanding a statement from Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding Operation Sindoor, addressing US President Donald Trump’s claims of mediation in Indo-Pak relations, and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.
The top legislative priority for the Modi government is the Income Tax Bill of 2025, which aims to replace the Income Tax Act of 1961. Originally introduced during the Budget Session, the bill spans 3,709 pages and was refined by a Select Committee led by BJP MP Baijayant “Jay” Panda, incorporating 285 suggestions.
