Sedition law has been repealed:

Sedition to go but, the proposed law does not just have the word 'Sedition'. It's replaced by 'Section 150' for acts endangering the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India. Still punishable with life imprisonment.

The term 'sedition' has been eliminated from the revised draft, and the provision has been renamed Section 150 with certain modifications.

“Whoever, purposely or knowingly, by words, either spoken or written, or by signs, or by visible representation, or by electronic communication or by use of financial mean, or otherwise, excites or attempts to excite, secession or armed rebellion or subversive activities, or encourages feelings of separatist activities or endangers sovereignty or unity and integrity of India; or indulges in or commits any such act shall be punished with imprisonment for life or with imprisonment which may extend to 7 years and shall also be liable to fine,” the new provision states.

Currently, sedition is punishable by life imprisonment or a prison term of up to 3 years. The new provision increases the 3-year sentence to 7 years or life imprisonment
