he Maharashtra Guarantee of
Public Services Act, 2015 was
enacted by the Maharashtra Government in August 2015, replacing the
ordinance which it had passed on the
public services bill earlier this year in
April. Popularly known as the Right to
Public Services (RTS) Act, the legislation has raised great hopes amongst citizens that they will now get services on
time and without bribing officials. The
government appears to believe that this
act would be as powerful as the Right to
Information (RTI) Act and will ensure
good governance. In its statement of
objects and reasons, the act states:
The three essential elements of good governance are transparency, accountability
and responsiveness of the administration. To
improve and strengthen the relationship between the people and the administration,
the Government of Maharashtra considers it
expedient to make a law to provide for delivery of efficient and timely public services so
as to bring accountability, responsibility and
transparency in the administration.
