Rajya Sabha passes Appropriation (No.3) Bill, 2026The Rajya Sabha passed the Appropriation (No.3) Bill, 2026, authorising excess expenditure incurred during FY2022-23. These two accounts were a part of what the Public Accounts Committee in its 39th report presented to the Lok Sabha this year in April”. Explaining further, she said one excess demand arises from a particular court order that was on the Railway Ministry for Rs 196.44 crore. However, Sitharaman said the nature of debt receipts is against the issuance of securities and therefore has no fiscal impact. The Bill was returned to the Lok Sabha after the Upper House gave its nod to the legislation with a voice vote, thus completing the Parliamentary process for the Money Bill.
