NEET paper leak row: What Centre's new anti-paper leak bill proposes and why it matters

The Centre will introduce a bill proposing significantly tougher penalties for examination fraud. This legislation aims to strengthen the anti-paper leak law amid ongoing protests. Penalties for individuals convicted of exam fraud will see a sharp increase in jail terms. Service providers found responsible for offences will face substantially tighter provisions and higher fines. The proposed amendments also increase jail terms and fines for organised examination-related crimes.
