Government introduces bill to curb examination paper leaks in Lok Sabha

The record

Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

The government has introduced the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026 in the Lok Sabha to curb examination paper leaks and cheating.
The Bill raises penalties sharply, including jail terms of 5 to 10 years and fines up to ₹50 lakh for general offenses, and up to ₹10 crore for organised crime networks.
It also sets strict timelines: investigations must finish within 60 days and trials within three months in Special Fast Track Courts.
The move matters because, despite the original 2024 anti-cheating law being in force since June 2024, there have been no convictions under it in the past two years.
