Rectification of errors apparent on the face of record permits correction of obvious mistakes subject to notice and natural justice. The authority that issued any decision, order, notice, certificate or other document may rectify any error apparent on the face of the record either on its own motion or when brought to its notice by an authorised officer or the affected person within the prescribed period; rectifications adversely affecting a person require observance of natural justice. A general outer time-limit governs such rectification, while purely clerical or arithmetical errors from accidental slips or omissions are excepted from that outer limit.
