Bar Council of India Removes 107 Fake Advocates from  Delhi Roll to Uphold Legal Integrity The Bar Council of India (BCI) has taken decisive action in a sweeping initiative aimed at maintaining the integrity of the legal profession by removing 107 fake advocates  from the Roll of Advocates in Delhi  between 2019 and October 2024. This step comes as part of the BCI's rigorous verification process to ensure that only qualified, genuinely practising advocates remain in the profession, ultimately upholding public trust in the legal system. Strengthened Verification Framework Under Rule 32 This effort falls under Rule 32 of the Bar Council of India Certificate and Place of Practice (Verification) Rules, 2015 . The BCI  amended Rule 32 on June 23, 2023 , which empowered the BCI to verify, identify, and systematically remove unqualified and fake advocates from the Roll. The rule amendment has made the process of weeding out non-compliant individuals significantly more efficient. Accordi

FM Sitharaman to Present Historic Seventh Consecutive 

Union Budget in Paperless Format



Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is set to make history by presenting her seventh consecutive Union Budget during the Monsoon Session of Parliament, starting July 22. This milestone will establish her as the first Finance Minister to present seven consecutive budgets, breaking the record of Morarji Desai, who presented six budgets from 1959 to 1964.


Paperless Budget Presentation


Continuing the trend of the past few years, Budget 2024 will be delivered in a paperless format. This move not only signifies a step towards modernization and digital governance but also aligns with environmental sustainability efforts.


Stakeholder Consultations


In preparation for the budget, the Finance Ministry has engaged in extensive consultations with various stakeholders across the economy. These deliberations, which began on June 20, included representatives from trade unions, the education and health sectors, employment and skilling, MSMEs, trade and services, industry, economists, the financial sector, capital markets, infrastructure, energy, and urban sectors.


Key Issues Discussed


- Economists: Focus on boosting capital expenditure and reducing the fiscal deficit.

- CII: Recommendation to increase capital expenditure.

- Farmer Associations: Urged for enhanced budgetary allocation for the agriculture sector.

- Skilling and Employment Sectors: Suggested ways to better skill the youth for optimal workforce utilization.


Upcoming Monsoon Session


The Monsoon Session, featuring 19 sittings until August 12, will see the presentation of six significant bills, including the Aircraft Act and the budget for Jammu and Kashmir. The government will also present the Finance Bill following the budget announcement on July 23. Other notable bills include the disaster management law, the Bhartiya Vayuyan Vidheyak 2024, the Boilers Bill, the Coffee (Promotion and Development) Bill, and the Rubber (Promotion and Development) Bill.


Bhartiya Vayuyan Vidheyak 2024


This bill aims to replace the Aircraft Act of 1934, streamlining regulations in the civil aviation sector and benefiting industry players.


Interim Budget and Full Budget Transition


The interim budget, presented on February 1, addressed the financial needs until the formation of a new government post the Lok Sabha elections. The full budget, set to be presented in July, will outline the new government's financial plans.


Digital Accessibility


The Union Budget documents will be available on the "Union Budget Mobile App," ensuring hassle-free access for Members of Parliament (MPs) and the public. The app, which is bilingual (English and Hindi), is available on both Android and iOS platforms.


Conclusion


As Nirmala Sitharaman prepares to present her seventh consecutive Union Budget, her tenure marks a significant period in India's financial history, characterized by a shift towards digitalization and extensive stakeholder engagement. The upcoming Monsoon Session promises to be eventful, with several key legislative measures set to be discussed.
