Money worries taking a toll? 4 in every 5 urban Indians feel stressed over it, finds survey

It all started with the passing of the Aadhaar Act 2016 by Lok Sabha last year which was initially aimed to provide legal backing to the unique identification number project.
“An Act to provide for, as a good governance, efficient, transparent, and targeted delivery of subsidies, benefits and services, the expenditure for which is incurred from the Consolidated Fund of India, to individuals residing in India through assigning of unique identity numbers to such individuals and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto,” the Act read.
The NDA government chose to introduce the Aadhaar Bill, 2016 as a Money Bill this year in parliament and the Lok Sabha, which had the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in majority cleared the Bill and passed it to the Rajya Sabha.
In March this year, a debate began in parliament over the controversial Money Bill as the Rajya Sabha rejected it even though the Lok Sabha continued to back it.
Opposition parties’ main concern for not passing the bill was the issue of mass surveillance through its introduction, which was also an issue raised by former CM of Gujarat and current Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.

<script async="" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>“Any important legislation has to be approved by both houses of parliament before it can become the law of the land, which is why, failing its passage in the Rajya Sabha, the Land Acquisition ordinance has still not become permanently legally binding,” a report by The Citizen said on April 2.
