The Chief Information Commissioner (CIC) holds office under the provisions of the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005. The tenure of the CIC is determined by the Central Government, ensuring flexibility in governance. Additionally, the CIC is not eligible for reappointment after completing their term, which upholds the principle of impartiality in the office. Furthermore, the Act specifies that no CIC can hold office after attaining the age of 65 years, thereby ensuring periodic leadership changes. These provisions collectively safeguard transparency, accountability, and independence in the functioning of the CIC, reinforcing the objectives of the RTI Act.
