President Murmu Approves Maharashtra Anti-Conversion Law, Awaiting Notification

The President of India, Droupadi Murmu, gave her approval to a new law in Maharashtra that deals with religious conversions.

This law is called the Maharashtra Freedom of Religion Act 2026.

After the President approved it, the Governor of Maharashtra, C P Radhakrishnan, sent the bill to the state government.

The law will only start working once the state government issues a notice telling people when it will begin.

The state government can decide that date.

The law is meant to make sure that people who change their religion do so in a fair and lawful way.

It is a new rule that will affect how religious conversions are handled in Maharashtra.

The law is still waiting for the state government to announce the exact start date.

Once that happens, the law will be fully in force.
