Economic Survey urges RTI Act revamp over idle usage
Flipitmoney
Economic Survey 2025-26 recommends re-examining RTI Act, 2005, without diluting its spirit. The proposed changes include exempting internal deliberative material from disclosure until final decisions are made and exploring a ministerial veto with parliamentary oversight. Goal is to preserve accountability and prevent corruption while refining the Act's operation in areas of internal deliberation.
