PRESS RELEASE ON THE 166th REPORT OF DEPARTMENT-RELATED PARLIAMENTARY STANDING COMMITTEE ON PERSONNEL, PUBLIC GRIEVANCES, LAW AND JUSTICE

The Report was considered and adopted by the Committee on 05thAugust, 2026.

The Committee further recommends that special emphasis be placed on emerging areas of tax jurisprudence, including international taxation, transfer pricing, anti-avoidance measures and the implementation of the Income Tax Act, 2025.

The organization of Lok Adalats for amicable settlement of disputes and the implementation of a Legal Aid Scheme are commendable measures to ensure that litigants belonging to economically weaker sections are not denied access to justice on account of financial constraints.

The Committee while noting that the Tribunal is functioning below the minimum statutory member strength recommends that Government accord the highest priority to complete the ongoing appointment process, so as to enable the Tribunal to function in conformity with the legislative framework of the NGT Act, 2010.

(Para 6.20) The Committee is of the considered view that steadily expanding insolvency jurisdiction of the NCLT should not dilute its equally important responsibilities under the Companies Act, 2013, including matters relating to mergers and amalgamations, corporate governance, and protection of stakeholder interests.

Revise monthly events by exam family instead of reading random updates.

Pair one-liners with mock tests so mistakes become the next revision list.

Note which exams each story matters for, and revise it again in the week before that exam.
