Joint Parliamentary Committee to hold meeting on three key amendment Bills
New Delhi, July 1
The Parliamentary Joint Committee examining three key amendment Bills will meet on Wednesday at the Parliament House Annexe in New Delhi.
The committee is examining The Constitution (One Hundred and Thirtieth Amendment) Bill, 2025, The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2025, and The Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Bill, 2025.

BJP MP Aparajita Sarangi is the Chairperson of the committee.
The three Bills were introduced in the Lok Sabha on August 20 and were subsequently referred to a Joint Committee of both Houses of Parliament for detailed examination.
Meanwhile, several parliamentary committee meetings were held in New Delhi last month to discuss the Corporate Laws (Amendment) Bill, finance-related issues and the energy sector.
The agenda includes briefings by representatives from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI), Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICMAI), the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), Invest India, the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), and the National Institute of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (Ni-MSME).
Committee members Sudheer Gupta, Sanjay K Jha, and Magunta S Reddy were present for the meeting.
The agenda of this meeting includes a briefing by representatives of the Ministry of Power and North Eastern Electric Power Corporation Limited (NEEPCO) on the subject "Role of Power Sector Statutory Bodies, PSUs and Institutions in Development of Atmanirbhar Power Sector".

While the JPC process is important, I'm a bit concerned about the pace. These bills were introduced back in August, and now it's July next year? That's a long time for such critical legislation. Hope they're not dragging their feet unnecessarily.
The inclusion of Andhra Pradesh government and CPI in the discussions shows a bipartisan approach. But I hope the committee also hears from local stakeholders in J&K, not just Delhi-based experts. The ground reality matters.
Atmanirbhar power sector is a great goal! NEEPCO and Ministry of Power working together could really boost energy self-reliance. We need more focus on renewables though - solar and wind should be the priority. 👍
Interesting that ICAI, ICSI, and ICMAI are all involved. As someone who works in corporate law, I appreciate the thoroughness. The Corporate Laws Amendment Bill could have significant implications for businesses - transparency is key.
Wish they would also include representatives from the general public or civil society organizations that work directly with affected communities. Sometimes these high-level meetings miss the everyday challenges people face.
Good to see parliamentary democracy in action with proper committee scrutiny. The J&K reorganisation bill especially needs careful handling - it
