STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

The Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013 (1 of 2014), providing for the establishment of a body of Lokpal for the Union and making enabling provision for establishment of Lokayukta for States to inquire into allegations of corruption against certain public functionaries, was enacted and brought into force with effect from 16th January, 2014.

2. Sub-section (1) of section 4 of the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013 (the Lokpal Act) provides for a Selection Committee for making recommendations to the President for appointment of the Chairperson and Members of the Lokpal. As per the existing provision in clause (c) of sub-section (1) of section 4, the Leader of Opposition in the House of the People is one of the Members of the said Selection Committee. Sub-section (1) of section 4 does not contain any provision as to how the eminent jurist is to be recommended for nomination by the President under clause (e) of sub-section (1) or how the Search Committee shall be constituted by the Selection Committee under sub-section (3), when there is no Leader of Opposition recognised as such in the House of the People. Therefore, it is considered appropriate to amend clause (c) of sub-section (1) of section 4 of the Lokpal Act and make enabling provision for inclusion of the Leader of the single largest Opposition Party in the House of the People as a Member of the said Committee. Further, sub-section (1) of section 4 does not specify any tenure for the eminent jurist. It is, therefore, proposed to insert a proviso to sub-section (1) so as to lay down that the eminent jurist shall be nominated for a period of three years and shall not be eligible for re-nomination.

3. It is also proposed to amend sub-section (2) of section 4 so as to provide that no appointment of a Chairperson or a Member or the nomination of an eminent jurist shall be invalid merely by reason of any vacancy or absence of a Member in the Selection Committee, on the lines of the recent amendment made in the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, 1946. Similarly, it is proposed to add a proviso to sub-section (3) of section 4 so as to provide that no appointment of a person in the Search Committee or the proceedings of the Search Committee shall be invalid merely by reason of any vacancy or absence of a Member in the Selection Committee or absence of a person in the Search Committee, as the case may be.

4. It is proposed to amend section 44, with consequential amendments in sections 59 and 60 on account of the following reasons, namely:—

(a) Section 14 of the Act defines "public servant", which, inter alia, includes Prime Minister, Ministers and the Members of either House of Parliament. Section 44 of the Act makes provision for declaration of assets and liabilities by the public servants. In this regard, the Representation of the People Act, 1951 (43 of 1951) makes detailed provisions which provide for conduct of elections of the Members of Parliament, their qualifications and disqualifications for the membership of the Houses, corrupt practices and other offences, etc. The said Act and the rules framed thereunder make elaborate provisions for filing of affidavits giving full details of the movable and immovable property and the consequences of filing false affidavits, etc. In view of this, it is proposed to provide that the provisions of the Representation of the People Act should be applicable to them as regards the manner of filing of information regarding their assets and liabilities, instead of making a different provision under the Lokpal Act. This will bring coherency between the Lokpal Act and the Representation of People Act.

(b) In case of Government servants, there is a requirement of filing of property returns both at the time of joining service and annually, giving details of property transactions, under the rules framed under article 148 and article 309 of the Constitution6 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA EXTRAORDINARY [PART II— and the Acts of Parliament such as the All India Services Act, 1951 (61 of 1951). The existing rules which regulate the property transactions of the Government servants are much elaborate and comprehensive in comparison to what is intended to be provided under section 44 of the Lokpal Act. Hence there is need for harmonising the said Act and the Rules with the provisions of the Lokpal Act.

(c) In addition to the categories of public servants covered in (a) and (b) above, there are public servants in statutory and autonomous bodies whose conduct is regulated in terms of relevant Acts applicable to them and the rules and regulations made thereunder, and this also requires to be harmonised with the provisions of the Lokpal Act.

(d) For the remaining categories of public servants not specifically covered under clauses (a) to (c) above (e.g. NGOs, etc.), the power to frame appropriate regulations for matters relating to furnishing of information about assets and liabilities by them should appropriately vest in the Lokpal which may either extend any set of rules or regulations applicable to government servants for such categories of public servants, or provide for a separate set of regulations, under its powers to make regulations.

It is accordingly proposed to amend sub-section (2) of section 44 to provide for a scheme wherein the filing of information by public servants under the provisions of the section are brought in harmony with the provisions of the respective Acts, Rules or Regulations, as applicable to different categories of public servants. It is also proposed to amend sub-section (6) in order to enable the Central Government to prescribe the manner in which information furnished by public servants of different categories is to be published, keeping public interest in view, by the respective competent authorities. It is also proposed to amend sections 10, 16 and 23 of the Lokpal Act.

5. Section 4BA of the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, 1946 (25 of 1946), as inserted by the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013, provides for the establishment of a Directorate of Prosecution headed by a Director of Prosecution, who will function under the overall supervision and control of the Director of the Delhi Special Police Establishment. The provisions of section 4BA do not lay down any eligibility conditions for appointment to the post of Director of Prosecution. In view of this, it is proposed to substitute sub-sections (1) and (2) of section 4BA with new sub-sections, so as to provide for appropriate eligibility conditions for appointment to the post. It is also proposed to insert two new sub-sections after sub-section (4) of section 4BA so as to ensure functional independence to the Director of Prosecution in the Delhi Special Police Establishment.

6. The Bill seeks to achieve the aforesaid objectives.

MEMORANDUM REGARDING DELEGATED LEGISLATION

Clause 7 of the Bill seeks to substitute clause (k) of sub-section (2) of section 59 of the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013 (the Lokpal Act), so as to empower the Central Government to make rules for the purpose of prescribing the manner in which the competent authority shall, in public interest, ensure that the information referred to in sub-section (2) of section 44 is published.

2. Clause 8 of the Bill seeks to insert a new clause (da) in sub-section (2) of section 60 of the Lokpal Act, so as to empower the Lokpal to make regulations specifying the manner of furnishing information to the competent authority by public servants under clause (D) of sub-section (2) of section 44.

3. Clause 10 of the Bill empowers the Central Government to make rules for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, 1946. Sub-clause (2) of the said clause specifies that such rules may provide for the manner of recording and maintenance of the annual performance appraisal reports of the Director of Prosecution in the Delhi Special Police Establishment, under sub-section (6) of section 4BA. Sub-clause (3) of clause 10 of the Bill provides that the rules made by the Central Government under the proposed new section 7 are required to be laid before each House of Parliament, as soon as they are made.

4. The matters in respect of which rules or regulations may be made under the proposed amendments are matters of procedure and administrative details and it is not practicable to provide for them in the Bill itself. The delegation of legislative power is, therefore, of a normal character.

Shri Arun Jaitley, Minister of Finance to the Secretary-General, Lok Sabha]

The President, having been informed of the subject matter of the Regional Rural Banks (Amendment) Bill, 2014 has recommended for the introduction of the Bill in the Lok Sabha under clause (1) of Article 117 of the Constitution of India.

————

FINANCIAL MEMORANDUM

Sub-clause (a) of clause 3 of the Bill seeks to amend section 5 of the Act so as to increase the authorised capital of each Regional Rural Bank from five crore of rupees to two thousand crore of rupees divided into two hundred crore of fully paid-up shares of ten rupees each. Sub-clause (b) of clause 3 of the Bill seeks to amend the proviso so as to provide that the authorised capital of any Regional Rural Bank shall not be reduced below one crore of rupees and shares to be in all cases fully paid-up shares of ten rupees each. Sub-clause (a) of clause 4 of the Bill seeks to amend sub-section (1) of section 6 of the Act so as to provide that the issued capital of each Regional Rural Bank shall not be less than one crore of rupees. Sub-clause (b) of clause 4 of the Bill seeks to insert provisos to sub-section (2) of the aforesaid section 6 so as to provide that in case the Regional Rural Bank raises its capital from sources other than the Central Government or the State Government or the Sponsor Bank, the combined shareholding of the Central Government and the Sponsor Bank shall not be less than fifty-one per cent. and that the Central Government shall consult the concerned State Government, if the level of shareholding in the Regional Rural Bank of such State Government, is reduced below fifteen per cent. Sub-clause (c) of clause 4 of the Bill seeks to insert a sub-section (2A) after sub-section (2) of the said section 6 so as to provide that Central Government may, in consultation with the Sponsor Bank and the State Government, by notification, either raise or reduce the limit of shareholding of the Central Government, the State Government or the Sponsor Bank specified in sub-section (2) and Central Government shall consult the concerned State Government before reducing the limit of shareholding of such State Government.

2. While there is no immediate expenditure involved on account of the proposed Bill, in future, the Central Government being fifty per cent. shareholder of the Regional Rural Banks, may be called upon to contribute its share, as and when the share capital of the Regional Rural Banks is enhanced, and accordingly, there will be an additional non-recurring expenditure to be met out of the Consolidated Fund of India. It is, however, not possible at this stage to estimate the quantum of such expenditure.

3. The Bill, if enacted, will not involve any other expenditure of a recurring or non-recurring nature.
