RBI to update RTI disclosure norms after Lok Sabha elections 2019

Earlier updation by the central bank, on April 30, only removed sections deemed objectionable by the SC

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is working on its disclosure policy under the Right to Information Act (RTI), and will release an updated version in a few weeks, possibly after the election results.

The central bank had, on April 30, updated its disclosure policy on its website to reflect the omission of certain clauses. These had been deemed objectionable by the Supreme Court in its April 24 ruling, through which it gave the RBI a ‘last opportunity’ to make public its confidential reports on banks, shared earlier only with the management.
