Let the RBI have more disclosure: Satyananda Mishra

In a recent judgement, information commissioner Satyananda Mishra asked the Reserve Bank of India to change its disclosure norms and share with common men at least some information regarding its board meeting proceedings. Mishra who disposes off 250 odd RTI appeal cases every month says that there has been a perceptible change of government departments’ disclosure procedures thanks to the implementation of Right to Information Act. Sunday ET’s Shantanu Nandan Sharma caught up with this former DoPT secretary who is set to take oath as India’s new Chief Information Commissioner on Monday.
