Under the RTI Act, the cabinet papers, including records of deliberations, become accessible after which event?

Under Section 8(1)(i) of the Right to Information Act, cabinet papers, including records of deliberations of the Council of Ministers, Secretaries and other officers, are exempt from disclosure, but the decisions of the Council of Ministers, the reasons thereof, and the material on the basis of which the decisions were taken shall be made public after the decision has been taken and the matter is complete or over. This ensures eventual transparency about cabinet decisions while protecting the confidentiality of ongoing deliberations.
