Which of the following Act provides for the creation of a state Information Commission ?

  • A.Human Rights Act, 2006
  • B.74th Amendment Act, 1992
  • C.73rd Amendment Act, 1992
  • D.Right to Information Act, 2005

Answer: D

The Act is the Right to Information Act, 2005.

Section 15 of the RTI Act provides for every state to constitute a State Information Commission, headed by a State Chief Information Commissioner, to hear appeals and complaints under the Act. Section 12 provides for the Central Information Commission.

The 73rd and 74th Amendments of 1992 created the framework for panchayats and municipalities, and the human rights legislation provides for human rights commissions, not information commissions.
