**3. Policy Overview:**
* **Original Policy Being Amended:** Central Motor Vehicles Motor Vehicle Accident Fund Rules, 2022.

**4. Background and Rationale:**
The Amendment likely addresses specific operational challenges encountered since the implementation of the "Central Motor Vehicles Motor Vehicle Accident Fund Rules, 2022." The text suggests a need for greater flexibility in fund management, delegation of authority, and clarification of responsibilities related to the Compensation to Victims of Hit and Run Motor Accidents Scheme, 2022, and the scheme framed under section 162. Specifically, the changes indicate a need to empower the Trust to delegate duties, review fund utilization, and address issues raised by implementing agencies.
**5. Key Provisions / Changes:**

* **Rule 3:** Change the word "Amount" to "Account" in subrule c.

* **Rule 5:** Substitutes a part of the table with an officer not below the rank of Deputy Secretary, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
* **Rule 6:** Replaces the old rule with a list of new rules outlining the power of the Trust, which includes but is not limited to periodically reviewing the working and utilization of the Motor Vehicles Accident Fund Trust Corpus, making recommendations to the Central Government for relevant corrective steps, wherever necessary; make recommendations to the Central Government on the implementation of the Compensation to Victims of Hit and Run Motor Accidents Scheme, 2022 and the scheme framed under section 162; annually review the quantum based on the receipt of contributions made to the Motor Vehicle Accident Fund Trust Corpus made under rule 10 of the Central Motor Vehicles Motor Vehicles Accident Fund Rules, 2022 and utilisation thereof; deliberate upon any issues raised by organisations or agencies responsible for the implementation of the Compensation to Victims of Hit and Run Motor Accidents Scheme, 2022 and the scheme framed under section 162; authorize, subject to such conditions and limitations as may be specified in such authorization, any authority or agency for one or more of the functions. The effect of this change is to explicitly define the Trust's powers, enabling it to better manage and oversee the MVAF.
