Context & shortfalls

Bills passed per full 5-year term of Lok Sabha. The 16th LS (2014–19) had the highest output at 331 bills. The 17th LS (2019–24) passed fewer bills (222) but several were landmark reforms (Labour Codes, DPDP Act, BNS/BNSS criminal law recodification). A declining share of bills was referred to Parliamentary Standing Committees — from ~60% in the 14th LS to ~15% in the 17th LS — reducing independent legislative scrutiny.
