No. F. 4/4/2014-IR Dated: 20th February, 2014 Dear The Government is in the process of appointment of Information Commissioners(s) in the Central Information Commission at Delhi. The Central Information Commission is a statutory organisation. It adjudicates on complaints and appeals received against Central Government Public Authorities. 2. The Right to Information Act, 2005 mandates constitution of a Central information Commission (CIC), consisting of the Chief Information Commissioner and such number of Information Commissioners not exceeding ten as may be deemed necessary. At present the Central information Commissioner is assisted by eight Information Commissioners. 3. The number of appeals and complaints are on increase in the Central Information Commission and the Commission is finding it difficult to cope up with the pendency with the existing number of Information Commissioners. It is thus necessary to appoint two more Information Commissioners in the Central Information Commission, in accordance with the established procedure. 4. As per the Act, the appointment is made by the President on the recommendation of a Selection Committee comprising: (i) The Prime Minister- The Chairperson of the Committee; (ii) The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha; and (iii) A Union Cabinet Minister nominated by the Prime Minister. 5. The Government is making all efforts to complete the selection process by end of March, 2014. However, having regard to the nature of the various activities involved in this process, it is likely that the entire process may spill over beyond March, 2014 by one or two weeks. This possibility is being brought to the notice of the Election Commission of India for kind information, having regard to the fact that general elections to the Lok Sabha are due very shortly.
