The policy, which contains an indicative negative list/classes of information which the Reserve Bank considers as exempt from disclosure under the provisions of the Right to Information Act, 2005, has been hosted on the Reserve Bank of India website. We are probably the first public authority to declare upfront as to what information can be disclosed and what is exempt from disclosure.
We believe that such clear enunciation would clear all doubts from the minds of information seekers, and help to bring down the number of requests and also minimize the use of the appellate mechanism.
