Rti And Wbaoa Applicability

Summary

The Right to Information (RTI) Act applies to public authorities in India, including those related to the West Bengal Apartment Ownership Act (WBAOA). Citizens can request information from government bodies under RTI. However, housing societies under WBAOA are not typically considered public authorities, so RTI may not apply unless they are government-funded or controlled.
