Repealing and Amending Bill, 2025 passed in Lok Sabha

The Lok Sabha passed the Repealing and Amending Bill, 2025, which seeks to remove a large number of obsolete and redundant laws from the statute book.[3] The Bill also amends the Disaster Management Act, 2005 to correct a drafting error.[3] According to Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal, since May 2014 the government has repealed a total of 1,577 laws.[3] Of these, 1,562 laws have been completely repealed while 15 obsolete laws have been repealed and re‑enacted in updated form.[3] The exercise is part of the government’s ongoing legal reforms aimed at improving ease of living and ease of doing business by simplifying the legal framework.[3] Repeal of outdated laws is expected to reduce unnecessary litigation and administrative burden on courts and government departments.[3]

MoSPI reports unemployment rate falls to 4.7% in November 2025

The National Statistical Office (NSO) under the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) released the Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) Monthly Bulletin for November 2025.[1] The data show that India’s unemployment rate declined to 4.7% in November 2025.[1] This bulletin is the 8th in the monthly PLFS series.[1] PLFS provides estimates of key labour market indicators such as labour force participation rate, worker population ratio, and unemployment rate.[1] The survey covers both rural and urban areas and is used to track employment trends on a regular basis.[1] A decline in unemployment is being interpreted as a sign of improving labour market conditions and ongoing post‑pandemic recovery.[1]
