+<WRAP center round info 95%>
+**In one line:** Section 30 gave the Central Government a time-limited power to issue orders removing difficulties in giving effect to the Act during its early years. The power could be exercised up to 2010 (five years from commencement). It is a transitional clause.
+</WRAP>
+===== Key points =====
+  * Central Government could issue removal-of-difficulty orders for first 5 years.
+  * Orders so made had the force of law but could not override substantive provisions.
+  * Power has lapsed since 12 October 2010.
+===== Legislative history =====
+No amendments.
+===== Rulings and references =====
+  * No substantive jurisprudence — transitional clause.
+===== Practical note =====
+Of historical interest. The power was used sparingly in 2005-2010 and has since lapsed.
