General201216 sections

This law ensures that citizens in Odisha receive essential government services within a specific time frame. It applies to anyone eligible for services like certificates or licenses. The government designates officers to process these requests, and if they fail to act on time or reject a request unfairly, the applicant can appeal to a higher authority. The Act aims to reduce corruption and delay in public administration by enforcing strict deadlines and providing a clear mechanism for redressal when services are not delivered as promised.
