NEW DELHI: Parliament on Monday passed the Finance Bill 2023-24 after the Lok Sabha approved an amendment recommended by the Rajya Sabha to correct a typographical error in the rate of securities transaction tax to be levied on trading of options and futures in the derivatives market.
With this, Parliament completed the Budget exercise for the next financial year. The legislations were passed without any debate amid continuing din over the Adani issue in the Lok Sabha. Earlier, the Rajya Sabha had passed several bills without any discussion.
Soon after LS reassembled at 4pm, opposition members started raising slogans demanding a JPC probe in the Adani issue. Rama Devi, who was presiding over the proceedings, asked the finance minister to move the amendment to the Bill as recommended by RS. The amendment was passed by the voice vote amid ruckus.
