RAS question
Rajasthan Guarantee of Delivery of Public Services Act was enacted in:
Correct answer: (C) 2011.
The Rajasthan Guaranteed Delivery of Public Services Act was enacted in 2011.
Explanation
The answer is 2011 because India Code lists the statute as the Rajasthan Guaranteed Delivery of Public Services Act, 2011 and separately records its Act Year as 2011. Its purpose matches the standard exam explanation: it provides for delivery of certain services to people by public authorities within stipulated time limits. That is why the year is tested as part of Rajasthan's administrative accountability framework, not as a stray date. India Code also records the enactment date as 2011-09-21, which confirms that 2011 is the relevant enactment year for this Act.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) 2015 is wrong because India Code records the Act Year for the Rajasthan Guaranteed Delivery of Public Services Act as 2011, not 2015.
- (B) 2008 is wrong because the official short title itself is the Rajasthan Guaranteed Delivery of Public Services Act, 2011.
- (D) 2005 is wrong because the cited Act is tied to the 2011 enactment year and not to the earlier administrative-law date in this option.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan's public service delivery and administrative accountability laws. RAS repeats such dates because they connect governance reforms with citizen-facing rights and time-bound service delivery.
