ANTI-CORRUPTION LAW SERIES-3


The Right to Information Act, 2005

The Right to Information Act, 2005 (‘RTI Act’) allows Indian citizens to obtain information held by any public authority, subject to specified exceptions for national interest, legislative privilege and right to privacy.  Further, the RTI Act requires public authorities to publicly disclose certain types of information relating to their functions (for example, they must publish relevant facts while formulating important policies or announcing decisions that affect the public and provide reasons for their decisions).  The information requested by a citizen is required to be provided in a timely manner (within a period ranging from 48 hours (if the life and liberty of any person are involved) to 30 days).  An authority has been set up at the central and state levels to monitor complaints from citizens under the RTI Act (including a refusal of access or a failure to respond).

In recent years, the RTI Act has proved to be a key tool in the fight against corruption – requests for information by activists and citizens have been successful in bringing to light instances of corruption in government tenders and public procurement programmes.  The RTI Act promotes transparency in the government and bureaucracy’s decision-making, and by facilitating publication of official records, which ensures that any lapses are brought into the public eye.

(All forms of corruption must be ended to secure the basic rights of all people and ensure a world where everyone can live in dignity.
We also know that corruption can’t be rooted out in one big sweep. Rather, fighting it is a step-by-step, project-by-project process.)
