माहिती अधिकार कायदा 2005 च्या तरतूदीनुसार प्रत्येक माहिती आयुक्तांचा पदावधी किती निश्चित केला आहे ?

The correct answer is Option C (Five years from the date on which he enters upon his office or till he attains the age of sixty five years, which ever is earlier.).

Key Points:
• Section 13(2) and Section 16(2) of the Right to Information Act, 2005 (prior to the 2019 amendment) provided:
• "Every Information Commissioner shall hold office for a term of five years from the date on which he enters upon his office or till he attains the age of sixty-five years, whichever is earlier, and shall not be eligible for reappointment as such Information Commissioner."
• *(Note: Through the RTI Amendment Act 2019, the term was modified to be prescribed by the Central Government, which is currently 3 years, but under the original 2005 Act tested in this 2017 exam, it was 5 years or 65 years of age).*
• Hence, Option 3 is correct.
• Key Takeaway: Under the original RTI Act 2005, an Information Commissioner holds office for 5 years or until the age of 65 years, whichever is earlier.
