RTI amendment to prescribe tenure, salaries of Info. Commissioners likely

The Central Government is considering amendments to the Right to Information (RTI) Act that would allow the Government to prescribe the tenure, salaries, allowances and other terms of services of Central and State Information Commissioners. It is proposed to consider enabling provisions under the RTI Act to frame Rules regarding salaries, allowances and conditions of service for these functionaries as there are no such provisions available under the RTI Act presently.
