Record a Gazette notification

Add a notification the Government published, and the provisions in it word for word, so rules can rest on them and quote them.

Every rule rests on the words of the law. When the Government publishes a notification, record it on Sources in the Platform area, then each provision in it. A second person approves each one, like any change.

Before you start#

  • You hold Consent.PlatformServices.draftLawAmendment.
  • You have the notification's number, title, date of the Gazette and its link on egazette.gov.in.

Record the notification#

  1. On Sources, choose Record a notification.
  2. Enter its number as printed, such as G.S.R. 846(E), its title and the date of the Gazette.
  3. Paste the Gazette link. It must start https://.
  4. To prove later that the PDF has not changed, paste its SHA-256 fingerprint.
  5. Clear It is law for guidance such as an explainer.
  6. Say why it is recorded, then choose Send for approval.

Record a provision#

  1. After the notification is approved, open it on Sources and choose Add a provision.
  2. Enter the citation, such as Rule 22(1).
  3. Copy the words of the provision from the Gazette PDF, exactly as printed.
  4. If it comes into force later than the notification, choose the start date that brings it in.
  5. Say why it is recorded, then choose Send for approval.

Each notification on Sources opens to show its provisions in order. To find one, type a citation, a word from it or a rule's name in the search box. Words missing lists the provisions rules rest on whose words are not recorded yet. Choose Record the words beside one. To add a link or fingerprint to a notification, open it and choose Correct the notification.

A notification or provision that a rule rests on cannot be undone until that rule is retired.
