The Anti-Paper Leak Amendment Bill was passed by Parliament in 2026 to strengthen the legal framework against examination paper leaks, organised cheating, and technological malpractice in public examinations. The legislation increases imprisonment to a minimum of five years and up to ten years, raises fines substantially, introduces Special Fast Track Courts, and mandates time-bound investigations and trials. It also empowers the Central Government to establish a Legal Council to coordinate investigations and combat examination-related crimes, ensuring greater transparency, fairness, and credibility in recruitment and entrance examinations across India.
