2[(1)] The Central Government may, by notification in the Official
Gazette, make rules for carrying out the purposes of this Act.]
3[(2) Every rule made by the Central Government under this Act shall be laid, as soon as may be after
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 rule or both Houses agree that the rule should not be made, the rule shall
