What is lokpal Bill

I have seen many people they are saying that government should implement the lockpal bill, but how many really know or have a clue what really Lokpal bill is?? For that reason I am  making this post if someone need to know what it is please check the key features of Lokpal bill -



1) To establish a central government anti-corruption institution called Lokpal, supported by Lokayukta (An anti-corruption ombudsman organization in the Indian states.) at state level.

2) As in the case of the Supreme Court and Cabinet Secretariat, the Lokpal will be supervised by the Cabinet Secretary and the Election Commission. As a result, it will be completely independent of the government and free from ministerial influence in its investigations.

3) Members will be appointed by judges, Indian Administrative Service officers with a clean record, private citizens and constitutional authorities through a transparent and participatory process.

4) A selection committee will invite short-listed candidates for interviews, videorecordings of which will thereafter be made public.

5) Every month on its website, the Lokayukta will publish a list of cases dealt with, brief details of each, their outcome and any action taken or proposed. It will also publish lists of all cases received by the Lokayukta during the previous month, cases dealt with and those which are pending.

6) Investigations of each case must be completed in one year. Any resulting trials should be concluded in the following year, giving a total maximum process time of two years.

7)Losses to the government by a corrupt individual will be recovered at the time of conviction.

8) Government officework required by a citizen that is not completed within a prescribed time period will result in Lokpal imposing financial penalties on those responsible, which will then be given as compensation to the complainant.
9) Complaints against any officer of Lokpal will be investigated and completed within month and, if found to be substantive, will result in the officer being dismissed within two months.

10) The existing anti-corruption agencies [CVC], departmental vigilance and the anti-corruption branch of the [CBI] will be merged into Lokpal which will have complete power authority to independently investigate and prosecute any officer, judge or politician.

11) Whistleblowers ( who alert the agency to potential corruption cases will also be provided with protection by it.

  This is very Good bill for the benefit of our county and our new generation. I will ask every single soule of India to stand up and fight for this bill.
