The Delhi cabinet on Tuesday approved the Delhi Right of Citizen to Time Bound and Ease of Delivery of Service Bill, 2026, a proposed law that would make government officials personally liable for delays and wrongful rejections of citizen applications.
Once this bill gets passed, delay in getting a birth certificate made or applying for a new power connection or just trying to get a basic document from a government office in Delhi will have higher consequences for the official on the other side of the counter.
