History


Pursuant to the acceptance by Government of a unanimous recommendation of the Committee on National Integration and Regionalism appointed by the National Integration Council, the Constitution (Sixteenth Amendment) Act, 1963, was enacted empowering Parliament to impose, by law, reasonable restrictions in the interests of sovereignty and integrity of India, on the:



  1. Freedom of Speech and Expression;

  2. Right to Assemble peaceably and without arms; and

  3. Right to Form Associations or Unions.


The object of this bill was to make powers available for dealing with activities directed against the integrity and sovereignty of India. The bill was passed by both the Houses of Parliament and received the assent of the President on 30 December 1967. The Amending Acts are as follows:



  1. The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Amendment Act, 1969;

  2. The Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 1972;

  3. The Delegated Legislation Provisions (Amendment) Act, 1986;

  4. The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Amendment Act, 2004,

  5. The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Amendment Act, 2008

  6. The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Amendment Act, 2012[3]


This last Amendment was enacted after POTA was withdrawn by the Parliament. However, in the Amendment Act in 2004, most of provisions of POTA were re-incorporated. In 2008, after Mumbai attacks, it was further strengthened. The most recent amendment has been done in 2012. According to the statement of objects and reasons, the Bill amends the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 to make it more effective in preventing unlawful activities, and meet commitments made at the Financial Action Task Force (an intergovernmental organisation to combat money laundering and terrorism financing).[4]
