The nodal department of personnel and training has recommended to the
Government of India that the path breaking Right to Information Act be
amended to allow a minimum 2 year term for the country's Chief
Information Commissioner.
The amendment will align the posts of Information Commissioners to the
Election Commissioners. The Election Commissioners enjoy a term of 6
years in officer or till 65 years (extendable by 1 year if appointed
as Chief information Commissioner).
The first beneficiary of this amendment is expected to be the present
Chief Information Commissioner Shri Anugraha Narayan Tiwari who
previously headed up the nodal department recommending the amendment.
