Section 34:
Power to make regulations.
(1) The Authority may make regulations not inconsistent with this
Act and the rules made thereunder for enabling it to discharge its functions under this Act.
(2) Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing power, such regulations may provide for all or
any of the following matters, namely:--
(a) the procedure to be followed at meetings of the Committees appointed by the Authority and
the number of members which shall form a quorum at a meeting;
(b) the delegation to the Chairman, members, Director, Secretary or other officers of the
Authority of any of the powers and duties of the Authority under this Act;
(c) the travelling and other allowances of members of the Authority and of Committees thereof;
(d) the pay and allowances and leave and other conditions of service of officers (other than those
appointed by the Central Government) and other employees of the Authority;
(e) the maintenance of its accounts;
(f) the maintenance of the registers and other records of the Authority and its various Committees;
(g) the appointment by the Authority of agents to discharge on its behalf any of its functions;
(h) the persons by whom, and the manner in which, payments, deposits and investments may be
made on behalf of the Authority.
(3) No regulation made by the Authority shall have effect until it has been approved by the Central
Government and published in the Official Gazette, and the Central Government, in confirming a
regulation, may make any change therein which appears to it to be necessary.
(4) The Central Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette, cancel any regulation which
it has confirmed and thereupon the regulation shall cease to have effect.
1[(5) Every regulation made under this section shall be laid, as soon as may be after it is made, before
each House of Parliament, while it is in session, for a total period of thirty days which may be comprised
in one session or in two or more successive sessions, and if, before the expiry of the session immediately
following the session or the successive sessions aforesaid, both Houses agree in making any modification
in the regulation or both Houses agree that the regulation should not be made, the regulation shall
thereafter have effect only in such modified form or be of no effect, as the case may be; so, however, that
any such modification or annulment shall be without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done
under that regulation.]
