Home Minister Amit Shah moved the GNCT of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023, for passage in the House. The Bill was passed after a division in which 131 MPs voted in favour of the legislation and 102 against it.

The bill empowers the Central Government to make rules in connection with the affairs of the Government of the NCT of Delhi.
