Parliament Passes Health Security Cess Bill 2025

The Indian Parliament has passed a new bill called the Health Security se National Security Cess Bill, 2025.

This bill was approved by the Lok Sabha on December 5 and by the Rajya Sabha on December 8.

The bill introduces a special tax, called a cess, on the production of goods like pan masala and any other goods that the central government decides to include.

The money collected from this tax will be used to improve public health and national security.

This means the government will have more funds to spend on keeping people healthy and the country safe.
