The Fi­nance Bill was passed in the Sen­ate, but with­out Op­po­si­tion sup­port.

In­de­pen­dent Sen­a­tor Dr De­sirée Mur­ray ab­stained and was the lone per­son on the in­de­pen­dent bench not to sup­port the Bill.

The Fi­nance Bill gives ef­fect to mea­sures an­nounced in the Na­tion­al Bud­get read by Fi­nance Min­is­ter Dav­en­dranath Tan­coo on Oc­to­ber 13. It al­so in­tro­duces sev­er­al new or ad­just­ed levies and tax­es.
