Under the RTI Act, where a public authority is a non-governmental organisation, it falls within the Act if it is what?

Under Section 2(h) of the Right to Information Act, the definition of public authority includes non-government organisations substantially financed, directly or indirectly, by funds provided by the appropriate government. Courts have examined what constitutes substantial financing in determining whether a particular NGO is covered. This inclusion ensures that bodies which receive significant public funding are accountable under the Act, extending transparency obligations beyond purely governmental bodies to substantially government-financed organisations.
