Calling economic offences, especially using online media as biggest challenge emerging, Fadnavis explained how existing provisions in the Information Technology (IT) Act are making fast probe difficult in such cases. He said, “The IT Act mandates to register and probe any complaint by an officer not less than a police inspector (PI) rank. However, most the PIs joined the force before the IT Act and may not be tech savvy. At the same time, we have several police sub-inspectors (PSIs), who have sound knowledge and know how to use technology for investigations. We have requested the Centre to make suitable amendments in the IT Act to allow officers of PSI rank to register and probe online frauds.”
Maharashtra Government has put out the draft of Right to Service (RS) Act or Maharashtra Guarantee of Public Services Act. In 2011, Mr Fadnavis had proposed the original draft, which stated that an official would be termed as 'habitual defaulter' after failing to provide service more than 50 times in a year.

It should be made known to the people of such RIGHT widely.
