Upon receipt of assent from the Hon’ble President on September 9, 1996 the item became an Act of Parliament (The Rules Commission Act 1996 Act no. XIX involving 1996). Thus the previous temporary Law Change Commission stood became a permanent Rules Commission. After the establishment of long term Law Commission Mr. Justice Amin-Ur-Rahman Khan ended up being appointed another Member of the Commission on September 22, 1996. Per section 5 from the Law Commission Act, 1996, the Commission consists of a Chairman and a couple Members.
