<h1>MP attendance in Parliament to be recorded at allotted seats with multimedia devices; AI transcription rollout planned.</h1> Parliamentary attendance procedure will require members to record presence at their allotted seats via multimedia devices using smart ID tap, biometric thumbprint, or PIN; this aims to prevent lobby-based marking and link presence to entitlement to daily allowances. Ministers and the leader of the opposition are exempt from the sign-in requirement. Members are urged to express opposition through speeches within the House rather than placards or slogans, affecting permissible modes of protest. The Lok Sabha secretariat is piloting AI tools for real-time transcription and translation of proceedings, achieving circa 80% accuracy with manual verification prior to portal upload and an anticipated faster automated upload timetable.
