Under Section 8(1), the rules of procedure governing the transaction of business at meetings of the Authority, including the quorum required, are to be provided by:

Section 8(1) specifies that the times, places, and procedural rules for transacting business at Authority meetings - including the crucial matter of quorum - are to be 'provided by regulations', meaning they fall under the Authority's own REGULATION-making power under Section 42(2)(a), not under Central Government RULES made under Section 41, the Chairperson's ad hoc discretion, CAG oversight, or parliamentary resolution. This distinction between what is governed by 'rules' (Central Government, Section 41) versus 'regulations' (the Authority itself, Section 42, subject to Central Government approval and publication) is a recurring structural theme across the Act and a frequent source of confusion in objective testing.
