Section 7:
Power to make rules.
1[(1)] The Central Government may, by notification in the Official
Gazette, make rules for giving effect to the provisions set out in the Schedule, and generally for carrying
out the purposes of this 2[Act].
3[(2) Every rule 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 4[in two or more successive sessions], and if before the expiry of 5[the
session immediately following the session or the successive sessions aforesaid], both Houses agree in
making any modification in the rule, or both Houses agree that the rule should not be made, the rule
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 rule.]
