      Question

      Under the RTI Act, the cabinet papers, including records

      of deliberations, become accessible after which event?
      A After the decision has been taken and the matter is complete or over Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Only after 50 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Only with cabinet approval Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Never Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Only after a court order Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      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.
