Lok Sabha nod for Lokpal Act amendment
The Lok Sabha on Wednesday approved an amendment to the Lokpal and Lokayukta Act, 2013, to allow extension of the time given to public servants and trustees and board members of Non-Governmental Organisations receiving government funds of more than Rs. “Amendments to bills can be moved under three condition: one, when cleared by the Union Cabinet; second, the Prime Minister invokes rule 12 of the transaction of business and takes a suo motu decision, and a post facto approval is then sought from the Union Cabinet; or an empowered group of ministers meet and clear it, again with post facto approval of the Cabinet,” said a senior Minister. “Till the present impasse is overcome, the deadline with regard to government servants can be deferred,” Dr. Singh said as e moved the amendments. Fifth extension According to the rules notified under the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013, every public servant shall file declaration, information and annual returns pertaining to his assets and liabilities as well as of his spouse and dependent children as on March 31 on or before July 31 of that year.
