Abstract

The Right to information Act, 2005 ("the Act"), which came completely into impact on 12 October, 2005,is a standout amongst the most critical enactment ordered by the Parliament of India. The Act empowers the foundation of an exceptional administration of right to information for the nationals of the nation. It supersedes the 'Official Secrets Act' and comparative laws/rules. It strikes at the heart of the worldview since quite a while ago honed by Government authorities and open functionaries that 'privacy is the manage and revelation is an exemption'. The Act looks to set up that "straightforwardness is the standard and mystery is a special case" in the working of each open expert. It means to guarantee most extreme openness and straightforwardness in the apparatus and working of Government at all levels: Central, State and Local.
