All the above bills have now been signed into law.
Earlier, Delhi Services Bill now law drew stiff resistance from opposition parties.
The law on control overs services in Delhi that wrested control over national capital’s bureacracy from the Aam Aadmi Party-led government, has seen strong opposition from the INDIA bloc.
The opposition alliance's MPs had walked out of the Parliament when it was put to vote.
The Bill was passed after a division in which 131 MPs voted in favour of the legislation and 102 against it.
Another, the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Bill was passed by a voice vote amid sloganeering by Opposition members over the Manipur issue. Some of the amendments sought by the Opposition were defeated by voice vote.
