The Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Act, 2023 also commonly known as Delhi Services Act,[1] is a bill that extends the Central Government's control of services and gives powers to the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi over the capital city's elected Government.[2] [3]
It is an administrative authority that will manage the Civil Services in Delhi. The authority will have 3 members- Chief Minister of Delhi, the Chief Secretary and the Principal Home Secretary. The meetings of this authority will be chaired by Chief Minister of Delhi. The decisions are taken by vote.
NCCSA gives the union government more power to take decisions regarding the tenure, salaries, allowances, powers, and duties of officers.
CM will chair the meetings of NCCSA and decide the meeting's day and date. He will be presiding over discussions in NCCSA.
LG will have final decision making authority. He can return files to NCCSA for reconsideration or can also take independent decisions for transfer and posting.
