The Authority is bound to:

Under Section 55 of the PERA Act 2024, the Authority is legally bound to comply with directives issued by the Government. This requirement ensures that the Authority’s actions are consistent with national policy objectives and the broader framework of the law. Compliance with these directives is mandatory and forms part of the Authority’s statutory duties.

The purpose of this provision is to maintain alignment between regulatory enforcement and government policy, while ensuring that the Authority remains accountable to the public interest. Even though the Authority has operational autonomy in day-to-day activities, Section 55 makes it clear that Government directives are binding, provided they are consistent with the Act and other applicable laws.

This compliance mechanism also promotes uniformity and coordination in regulatory actions across different enforcement agencies. It ensures that all decisions and enforcement measures are guided by a coherent policy framework, preventing conflicts or arbitrary actions.
