    Question

    Which of the following information is EXEMPT from

    disclosure under the RTI Act?
    A Details of a Minister's foreign tour expenses. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B The file noting related to a policy decision. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Information that would impede the process of investigation of a crime. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The monthly salary details of a government clerk. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Section 8(1)(h) of the RTI Act exempts "information which would impede the process of investigation or apprehension or prosecution of offenders." Options A and D are typically disclosable as they involve public money and an employee's transparency (unless it is personal information unrelated to public activity). Option B, file noting, are now generally accessible after various rulings to promote transparency in decision-making, unless covered under another exemption.
