Section 86 of ITA, 2000 : Section 86: Removal Of Difficulties

Explanation using Example

Let's consider a hypothetical scenario to understand Section 86 of The Information Technology Act, 2000. Suppose, two years after the commencement of the Act, a new form of cybercrime emerges which the Act doesn't explicitly address. The Central Government, recognising the urgency and importance of addressing this new form of cybercrime, decides to issue an order to provide clarity and guidance on how to deal with it.

The Central Government publishes this order in the Official Gazette, making sure it doesn't contradict any existing provisions of the Act. However, this order can only be issued within two years of the Act's commencement. After the order is issued, it is then laid before each House of Parliament for review as soon as possible.
