Who appoints Enforcement Officers under the PERA Act 2024?

Under the PERA Act 2024, Enforcement Officers are appointed by the Authority. This centralized appointment ensures that officers are officially designated, authorized, and empowered to carry out enforcement duties within the framework of the Act.

The Authority’s role in appointing Enforcement Officers provides legal validity, accountability, and uniformity in staffing across Enforcement Stations. Other bodies, such as the Board, Deputy Commissioner, or Hearing Officer, may have administrative or supervisory functions, but they do not have the legal power to appoint Enforcement Officers under the Act.
