Why can the Authority make arrangements with other bodies?

Under the PERA Act 2024, the Authority is empowered to make arrangements with other regulatory or government bodies for the purpose of information exchange. This provision ensures that all relevant agencies can share and access critical data, enabling coordinated enforcement and effective decision-making.

The ability to arrange information sharing helps prevent duplication of work, supports compliance monitoring, and ensures that the Authority has comprehensive insight into regulatory matters. Such arrangements can include formal agreements, protocols, or Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with other bodies to facilitate smooth and secure data exchange.

This mechanism strengthens inter-agency cooperation, enhances operational efficiency, and ensures that regulatory oversight remains aligned with statutory requirements and public interest. By enabling structured information exchange, the Authority can act promptly and accurately, making enforcement more effective under the PERA framework.
