On the final day of the budget session of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha, five bills were passed after discussion. These include the Haryana Appropriation (No. 2) Bill, 2026, Haryana Police (Amendment) Bill, 2026, Haryana Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management (Amendment) Bill, 2026, Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas (Amendment) Bill, 2026, and Haryana Consolidation of Project Land (Special Provisions) Amendment Bill, 2026.
Haryana Appropriation (No. 2) Bill, 2026
The bill authorizes the withdrawal and appropriation of a total amount of ₹2,79,602,43,26,340 from the Consolidated Fund of the State of Haryana to meet expenditure on services during the financial year 2026–27 ending March 31, 2027.
Haryana Police (Amendment) Bill, 2026
This bill was passed to amend the Haryana Police Act, 2007. The Act was originally notified on June 2, 2008. Section 65 provides for the functions of the State Police Complaints Authority, while Section 68(g) deals with the functions of the District Police Complaints Authority regarding inquiries into serious misconduct by police personnel.
However, the existing provisions are silent in cases where reports have been filed in a competent court under Section 193 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. They also do not address matters pending before national and state commissions constituted under various Acts.
Additionally, no time limit has been prescribed for disposal of complaints by the authorities. Therefore, amendments have been made to ensure proper and effective functioning of the State and District Police Complaints Authorities by addressing these gaps.
Haryana Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management (Amendment) Bill, 2026
This bill amends the Haryana Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management Act, 2005, which was enacted to eliminate revenue deficit and maintain fiscal deficit within prescribed limits, as per the recommendations of the 12th Finance Commission. Considering risks associated with state government guarantees, a working group was constituted during the 32nd Conference of State Finance Secretaries (July 7, 2022), including representatives from the Ministry of Finance, Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), Reserve Bank of India (RBI), and states.
Based on discussions in the 33rd Conference (July 6, 2023), the RBI proposed that the incremental guarantee limit in a year should be capped at 5% of the previous year’s revenue receipts or 0.5% of the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP), whichever is lower. The Finance Department agreed to these recommendations on September 4, 2023.
Further discussions in the 35th Conference (September 18, 2025) emphasized setting realistic limits for guarantees. The amendment aims to incorporate these recommendations and formally fix limits on state government guarantees.
Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas (Amendment) Bill, 2026
This bill amends the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act, 1975, and is deemed to have come into force from January 30, 2026. Under Section 7 of the Act, prior No Objection Certificate (NOC) is required before registering any document related to the sale, lease, or transfer of vacant land less than one acre in notified urban areas. This provision aims to prevent the development of illegal colonies.
It has been observed that land is often exchanged (instead of sold) to indirectly acquire larger or more valuable plots, bypassing regulatory provisions. Though legally termed as “exchange,” such transactions effectively act as indirect sales, defeating the purpose of regulation.
The amendment proposes to include exchange deeds within the regulatory framework to curb illegal colonization and ensure compliance.
Haryana Consolidation of Project Land (Special Provisions) Amendment Bill, 2026
This bill amends the Haryana Consolidation of Project Land (Special Provisions) Act, 2017, which aims to consolidate leftover land parcels affected by development projects.The Act was earlier amended in 2020. However, several civil writ petitions challenged Section 7 related to compensation.
In Mool Chand & Others vs State of Haryana and similar cases, the Hon’ble High Court declared Section 7 ultra vires regarding compensation and directed that compensation, interest, rehabilitation, and resettlement benefits be determined as per provisions of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013.
