RTI Act Implementation — Amendments

Amendment	Year	Description	Impact
RTI Amendment Act	2019	The Right to Information (Amendment) Act, 2019 modified the tenure and salary provisions for Information Commissioners. The amendment gave the central government power to determine the tenure, salary, allowances, and other terms of service of Chief Information Commissioner and Information Commissioners at both central and state levels, replacing the earlier provisions that provided fixed tenure and salary structures.	This amendment has been controversial as it potentially compromises the independence of Information Commissions by making them dependent on government decisions for their service conditions. Critics argue it weakens RTI implementation by reducing the autonomy of oversight bodies, while supporters claim it provides flexibility in administrative arrangements.
