The UPA government has decided to introduce two contentious bills – the Goods and Services Tax Bill and the Land Acquisition (Amendment) Bill – in the budget session of Parliament that kicks off on Monday.

These include: Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Bill, Recovery of Debts due to Banks and Financial Institutions (Amendment) Bill, National Highways Authority of India (Amendment) Bill, Cinematograph Bill, Companies (Amendment) Bill, Banking Laws (Amendment) Bill, Chartered Accountants (Amendment) Bill and Equal Opportunity Bill, Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Amendment Bill and Prevention of Torture Bill.
