The Right to Information (Amendment) Act, 2019 empowered the Central Government to prescribe which aspects of the Information Commissioners' service?
Solution
The Right to Information (Amendment) Act, 2019 amended the Right to Information Act to empower the Central Government to prescribe, through rules, the term of office, salaries, allowances and other terms and conditions of service of the Chief Information Commissioner, Information Commissioners, and their state counterparts. Previously, these were fixed in the Act itself. The amendment was controversial, with critics arguing that it could affect the independence of the Information Commissions by giving the government greater control over their tenure and status.
