The Central Government, exercising powers under the Right to Information Act, 2005, has issued rules for the recruitment of a Registrar in the Central Information Commission. These rules, effective from their gazette publication, outline the number of posts, classification, and pay scale. They also detail the method of recruitment, age limits, and qualifications, which are further specified in a schedule. A key provision is the disqualification of individuals married to someone with a living spouse or those who have married another person while having a living spouse, although exemptions can be granted under specific circumstances. The rules also grant the Central Government the power to relax provisions and clarify that existing reservations, relaxations, and concessions for various categories like SC, ST, OBC, and ex-servicemen will continue to apply. The schedule specifies one post for Registrar, classified as General Central Service Group ‘A’, with a pay band of Rs. 37,400-67,000 plus Grade Pay. Recruitment is primarily through deputation, with specific criteria for eligible officers from the Central or State Governments, Supreme Court, High Court, or Tribunals. Candidates must hold analogous posts or have served for a specified period in a certain pay band. A law degree is required, along with extensive experience in personnel and administrative matters or related to filing applications, scrutiny, and interpretation of rules. The deputation period is capped at five years, with a maximum age limit of 56 years. Special provisions are made for counting service rendered before January 1, 2006, based on the Sixth Central Pay Commission recommendations.
