We are proposing that the House agrees with us in amending clause 3. So, that the CS can prescribe the threshold within six months of the coming into force of the Act. Earlier, it was not prudent because the clause set a limit and this was subject to inflation and escalation. So, we are doing this to accommodate inflation. The CS should be left to do this in real time, so the figure does not stay the same for 10 years because this will affect both the landlords and the tenants. Thank you.
