The Aadhaar Bill was introduced as a Money Bill in the Indian Parliament by Union Finance Minister, Arun Jaitley. The bill was passed by the Lok Sabha on 11th March 2016.

The Aadhaar Bill seeks to cut out middlemen when it comes to handing over subsidies. The Aadhaar Card is a tool by which each individual is handed a unique identification number(UID). This Bill seeks to use this unique number to identify and disburse subsidies to those who need it. This will ensure that subsidies are not lost to the pockets of corrupt middlemen.

The Rajya Sabha passed the Real Estate Regulatory Bill, which will help to regulate the sector and bring in clarity for both buyers and developers. Here are things you should know about this bill.
1) It establishes the State Real Estate Regulatory Authority for that particular state as the government body to be approached for redressal of grievances against any builder. This will happen once every state ratifies this Act and establishes a state authority on the lines set up in the law.
2) This law vests authority on the real estate Regulatory to govern both residential and commercial real estate transactions.
3) This Act obliges the developer to park 70% of the project funds in a dedicated bank account. This will ensure that developers are not able to invest in numerous new projects with the proceeds of the booking money for one project, thus delaying completion and handover to consumers.
4) This law makes it mandatory for developers to post all information on issues such as project plan, layout, government approvals, land title status, sub contractors to the project, schedule for completion with the State Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) and then in effect pass this information on to
the consumers.
