How is information exchange maintained under Section 56?

Under Section 56 of the PERA Act 2024, the exchange of information between Departments and the Authority is maintained through a two-way system. This means that not only do Departments share information with the Authority, but the Authority can also provide feedback, instructions, or requests back to the Departments.

The two-way exchange ensures efficient coordination, timely decision-making, and accurate regulatory oversight. It allows both the Authority and the Departments to communicate essential data, clarify compliance issues, and align enforcement measures effectively. This system prevents gaps in monitoring, reduces duplication of effort, and supports proactive governance.

By establishing a two-way flow of information, Section 56 promotes transparency, accountability, and operational efficiency across all agencies involved. It strengthens the PERA framework by ensuring that both regulators and Departments work collaboratively rather than in isolation, which ultimately benefits compliance, policy implementation, and public interest.
