The Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026 — the 'Anti Paper Leak Bill' — was passed by the Lok Sabha on 29 July 2026.
It amends the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024, introducing stricter penalties, fast-track courts, and enhanced accountability against question paper leaks and organised cheating.
Key features include fast-track courts for speedy trials, tougher punishments for organised syndicates, enhanced digital security/encryption for question papers, and fixed institutional accountability.
The Bill follows the NEET paper-leak controversy that triggered Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation as Education Minister in July 2026.
