It requires every public authority to establish information and facilitation centre for efficient and effective delivery of services and redressal of grievances.
It requires every public authority to designate grievance redress officers in all public authorities of the central, state, district and sub-district levels, municipalities, panchayats etc. to enquire into and redress any complaints from citizens in a timeframe not exceeding 30 days from the date of receipt of the complaint.
The Bill provides that any individual aggrieved by a decision of the concerned grievance redress officer may, within 30 days, prefer an appeal to the designated authority who shall dispose of such appeal within 30 days from the date of receipt of such appeal. The designated authority shall be from outside the concerned public authority.
The Bill provides for constitution of the state public grievance redressal commission and the central public grievance redressal commission consisting of chief commissioners and other dommissioners. It also provides that any person aggrieved by the decision of the designated authority falling under the jurisdiction of the state government may prefer an appeal to the state public grievance redressal commission and any person aggrieved by the decision of the designated authority falling under the jurisdiction of the central government may prefer an appeal to the central public grievance redressal commission.
It confers power upon the designated authority, the state public grievance redressal commission and the central public grievance redressal commission to impose a lump-sum penalty, including compensation to the complainant, against designated official responsible for delivery of goods and services or grievance redress officer for their failure to deliver goods or render services to which the applicant is entitled, which may extend up to Rs 50,000 which shall be recovered from the salary of the official against whom penalty has been imposed.
It also provides that on the imposition of the penalty, the appellate authority may, by order, direct that such portion of the penalty imposed under the proposed legislation shall be awarded to the appellant, as compensation, not exceeding the amount of penalty imposed, as it may deem fit.
The Bill provides that if any public servant is found guilty of offence, the disciplinary authority shall initiate disciplinary proceedings against such officer of the public authority, who if proved to be guilty of a mala fide action in respect of any provision of this Act, shall be liable to such punishment including a penalty as the disciplinary authority may decide.
