Repeal Section 16

The continued concealment of information
relating to tax is to promote mismanagement
of public funds. Access
to information should
only be restricted as
provided by the Constitution or the Right to
Information Act, 2008

The Thirty years exemption from disclosure of public information is likely to be
abused. The relevant
provision has been set
out under section 20 of
the Right to Information Act 2008 for a
maximum of ten years.
However, certain information may remain
exempted from disclosure after expiry of
ten years.
