What is substantial financing under the RTI Act?
The Delhi High Court had remitted the case to the CIC for consideration
whether the Population Services International (NGO) received any
indirect substantial funding from the appropriate Government or
not. The NGO contended that they are not a public authority for
the purpose of section 2(h)(d)(ii) of the RTI Act as they are
not being "substantially financed" by the appropriate
government and hence are not covered under the Act. The appellant
argued that the NGO should be considered as public authority for
the purpose of RTI Act as it has received some amount of funding
from the government. The two member bench of CIC held that an
amount of 18% to 20% cannot be construed as substantial financing.
Further, only 8% was contributed from Central and State Government
in the year 2013 and hence, the amount contributed by the Central
and State Government cannot qualify as "substantial financing".
Comments
The term "substantial finance" has not been defined
under the RTI Act. Unless it can be shown that the funding was
so substantial to the body which practically runs by such funding
and but for such funding, it would struggle to exist, the same
cannot be termed as "substantial".
