The Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026 is set to be introduced in the Lok Sabha with proposals for tougher prison terms, higher fines and fast-track courts. While the government aims to strengthen the fight against paper leaks, students and experts are questioning whether harsher penalties alone can prevent future exam fraud.

The Union Cabinet has approved a draft amendment to strengthen India’s anti-paper leak law, proposing jail terms of up to 10 years, fines reaching ₹10 crore and fast-track courts. The Bill now heads to Parliament, where its passage will determine when the tougher penalties take effect.
