Section 30 of RTI Act : Section 30: Power To Remove Difficulties

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where the Right to Information Act, 2005 has been in force for a year, and a citizen finds that a particular government department is not disclosing information as per the Act's requirements due to ambiguity in interpreting a certain provision. The citizen brings this issue to the notice of the authorities. The Central Government, acknowledging the difficulty, may use Section 30 to issue an order clarifying the correct procedure for disclosure. This order, designed to remove the ambiguity, must be consistent with the Act and published in the Official Gazette. However, this action must be taken within two years of the commencement of the Act. Once the order is made, it must be presented before both Houses of Parliament to ensure legislative oversight.
