The delegation shall not extend beyond how many years?

• A. One
• B. Two
• C. Four
• D. Three

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that when the Tariff Commission delegates authority, that delegation must have a definite end date. A sunset-like limit keeps power in check and ensures regular review of how and why the delegated power is being used. In this context, the maximum period allowed for such a delegation is three years, after which the delegation lapses unless a new authorization is granted. This three-year cap maintains accountability and prevents permanent delegation of power. Shorter terms like one or two years aren’t the standard maximum here, and four years would exceed the allowed limit.
