MEMORANDUM REGARDING DELEGATED LEGISLATION
1. Clause 4 of the Bill seeks to insert new Part IV-A in the Government of National Capital
Territory of Delhi Act, 1991. The proposed sections 45C and 45K, inter alia, empowers the
Central Government to make rules to provide for the tenure of office, salaries and allowances,
provident funds, pensions, gratuities, leave of absence and other conditions of service of
officers and other employees appointed or posted; the powers, duties and functions of
officers and other employees appointed or posted; the qualifications of candidates for
appointment to the posts and the manner of selection for the appointments; transfer or
posting of the officers and other employees posted; the procedure to be followed in imposing
any penalty, suspension pending departmental inquiries before the imposition of such penalty
and the authority by whom such suspension or penalty may be ordered; the officer or
authority to whom an appeal or revision shall lie; any other matter which is incidental to or
necessary for the purpose of regulating the appointment and conditions of service of persons
appointed to services and posts.

2. The matters in respect of which rules may be made in accordance with the provisions
of the Bill are matters of procedure and detail and it is not practicable to provide for them in
the Bill itself.

3. The delegation of legislative power is, therefore, of a normal character.
