Removal of difficulties: the Government may pass orders to resolve a difficulty in giving effect to the Act. The five-year window for such orders has closed, so the existing Removal of Difficulty Orders stand but no new one can be issued.

Section 25. Removal of difficulties.- ( 1 ) If any difficulty arises in giving effect to any provision of this Act, the Government may, on the recommendations of the Council, by a general or a special order published in the Official Gazette, make such provisions not inconsistent with the provisions of this Act or the rules or regulations made thereunder, as may be necessary or expedient for the purpose of removing the said difficulty: Provided that no such order shall be made after the expiry of a period of 1 [five years] from the date of commencement of this Act. ( 2 ) Every order made under this section shall be laid, as soon as may be, after it is made, before each House of Parliament.
