Both these Bills were approved by the Rajya Sabha on August 3 and were subsequently tabled in the Lok Sabha on August 4, 2023.

In the Rajya Sabha, the government will seek the passage of two Bills — the Post Office Bill, 2023, and the Chief Election Commissioner and other Election Commissioners (Appointment, Conditions of Service and Term of Office) Bill, 2023. These two Bills were introduced in the Rajya Sabha on August 10 and were not referred to the Standing Committee.
