The Lok Sabha on Tuesday passed the Repealing and Amending Bill, 2025, aimed at pruning obsolete and redundant laws from the statute book and updating select legal provisions.

The Bill provides for the repeal of 71 Acts, including the Indian Tramways Act, 1886, the Levy Sugar Price Equalisation Fund Act, 1976, and the Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (Determination of Conditions of Service of Employees) Act, 1988.

It also amends four laws, including the General Clauses Act, 1897, and the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, to update terminology relating to registered posts.
