The Central Government issues an Order in the Official Gazette under section 6(3) delegating certain powers to the Director General. Which of the following powers can NOT be delegated through such an Order?

The power to formulate and announce the foreign trade policy under section 5 cannot be delegated. Section 6(3) lets the Central Government delegate its other powers to the Director General or a subordinate officer, but it excludes powers under sections 3, 5, 15, 16 and 19.

  1. APower to formulate and announce the foreign trade policy under section 5Correct
  2. BAny power under the Act other than those in sections 3, 5, 15, 16 and 19, if specified in the Order
  3. CPower exercisable by an officer subordinate to the Director General, if specified in the Order
  4. DPower that the Order allows to be exercised subject to conditions

Explanation

Section 6(3) allows delegation of any power under the Act except those under sections 3, 5, 15, 16 and 19. The section 5 power to formulate and announce the policy is therefore excluded. The other options describe delegations that section 6(3) permits.
