'''The Anti-Hijacking Act, 2016''' is an Act of the Parliament of India intended to enforce the [[Hague Hijacking Convention]] and the 2010 Beijing Protocol Supplementary to the Convention. The Act repeals and replaces ''The Anti-Hijacking Act, 1982''. The new Act broadens the definition of hijacking to include any attempt to seize or gain control of an aircraft using "any technological means", which accounts for the possibility that the hijackers may not be physically present on board the aircraft.<ref name = "Hindu1">{{cite web|last1=Rajagopal|first1=Krishnadas|title=Dealing with hijacking|url=http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/dealing-with-hijacking/article22765526.ece|website=The Hindu|access-date=20 May 2018|language=en-IN|date=16 February 2018}}</ref>

==Background==
The [[First Modi ministry|Narendra Modi administration]] believed that ''The Anti-Hijacking Act, 1982'' was not comprehensive enough to deal with modern-day hijack techniques, did not penalize individuals who made false hijack threats, and had weak penalties that did not serve as sufficient deterrent to potential hijackers.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Anti-Hijacking Act, 2016: An Explainer – The Wire|url=https://thewire.in/law/the-anti-hijacking-act-2016-an-explainer|website=The Wire|access-date=20 May 2018}}</ref><ref name = "Hindu1"/>

==Legislative history==
''The Anti-Hijacking Bill, 2014'' (Bill No. LIII of 2014) was introduced in the [[Rajya Sabha]] on 17 December 2014 by the [[Ministry of Civil Aviation (India)|Minister of Civil Aviation]], [[Ashok Gajapathi Raju]]. The bill was referred to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transport, Tourism and Culture on 29 December, and the Committee submitted its report on 11 March 2015. The bill as recommended by the Committee was passed by the Rajya Sabha on 4 May 2016 and by the [[Lok Sabha]] on 9 May 2016.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Anti-Hijacking Bill, 2014|url=http://www.prsindia.org/billtrack/the-anti-hijacking-amendment-bill-2014-3500/|website=www.prsindia.org|access-date=20 May 2018|language=en}}</ref> The bill received assent from then President [[Pranab Mukherjee]] on 13 May 2016, and was notified in ''[[The Gazette of India]]'' on 16 May 2016.<ref>{{cite web|author1=The Gazette of India|title=The Anti-Hijacking Act, 2016|url=http://www.civilaviation.gov.in/sites/default/files/Anti-hijacking%20Act%2C%202016.pdf|website=Ministry of Civil Aviation|access-date=20 May 2018}}</ref> The Act came into force on 5 July 2017.<ref>{{cite web|title=Anti-hijack law comes into effect|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/anti-hijack-law-comes-into-effect/article19227785.ece|website=The Hindu|access-date=20 May 2018|language=en-IN|date=7 July 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=India’s tough anti-hijacking law comes into force|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/india/indias-tough-anti-hijacking-law-comes-into-force-4739270/|website=The Indian Express|access-date=20 May 2018|date=6 July 2017}}</ref>
