Section 1 of CPFC Act : Section 1: Short Title And Commencement

Explanation using Example

Imagine a government official in the Central Provinces needs to determine when a new financial regulation, established by the Central Provinces Financial Commissioner's Act, 1908, will take effect. They refer to Section 1(2) of the Act, which states that the Act will come into force on a date specified by the Chief Commissioner, with approval from the Governor General in Council, and announced in the local official Gazette.

In this scenario, the official would look for the notification in the Gazette to find out the effective date. If the Gazette states that the Act will come into force on July 1, 1908, then starting on that date, the provisions of the Act would be applicable and must be followed by the relevant authorities and affected parties in the Central Provinces.
