2016: Parliament’s Winter Session Least Productive In 15 Years 

Frequent interruptions over notebandi marred the Parliament’s 2016 winter session–the least productive in 15 years–according to an analysis by PRS Legislative Research, a think tank. 
 
The loss of productivity (the hours spent without interruptions during the scheduled working hours) to the Lok Sabha, parliament’s lower house, was 83%, while it was 80% in the Rajya Sabha, the upper house, according to government data. 
 
In the 2016 winter session, 92 hours of disruption in the Lok Sabha cost the Indian taxpayer Rs 144 crore, IndiaSpend reported in December 2016.
 
In the budget and monsoon sessions, the Lok Sabha recorded 100% productivity. 
 
Here are some important bills pending in both the houses:
 
1. Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill, 2016
 
The Bill proposes regulation of surrogacy, prohibiting commercial surrogacy, while allowing altruistic surrogacy to help Indian couples in need.
 
It aims to prevent the exploitation of surrogate mothers and protect the rights of children born through surrogacy. The Bill also allows a close relative of the couple between the ages of 25 and 55 years to act as the surrogate.
 
A provision preventing foreigners, homosexual couples, singles, live-in couples and those married for less than five years from seeking surrogacy has been criticised, The Hindu reported in September 2016.
 
India is attempting to regulate surrogacy without having adequate information about the larger assistive reproductive technology industry, IndiaSpend reported in October 2016. 
 
Status: Pending in Lok Sabha
 
2. The Factories (Amendment) Bill, 2016
 
The Bill, which deals with the welfare, safety and health of workers, proposes to amend the Factories Act, 1948, so that state governments can regulate overtime hours and increase overtime limits to 100 hours from 50 hours in a quarter. 
 
The Bill further allows the state and central governments to increase overtime hours in the public interest to 125 hours per quarter from 115 hours. 
 
Status: Passed in Lok Sabha
 
3. Payment of Wages (Amendment) Bill, 2016
 
The Payment of Wages (Amendment) Bill, 2016, introduced in the Lok Sabha on December 15, 2016, seeks to promote cashless transactions by amending the Payment of Wages Act, 1936. 
 
Under the current law, all wages must be paid either in coin or currency notes or both. While employers may also pay wages using cheques or crediting it to bank accounts, written consent from employees is necessary.
 
The new Bill proposes to dispense with written authorisation for cashless payment of wages through cheques or bank accounts. 
 
It also allows state governments to specify industrial or other establishments that may adopt digital methods for salary payments. 
 
Andhra Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Kerala and Haryana have already made state amendments to the Act.  
 
The Bill was put forward in the winter session of parliament amid tense discussions on notebandi. These amendments would help curb complaints of non-payment or less payment of minimum wages, and also aid the objectives of a digital and cash-less economy, the Bill states.
 
Status: Pending in Lok Sabha. The central government issued an ordinance (valid for six months) on December 21, 2016, to allow cashless payment of wages.
