Before sharing with you is RTI Act applicable to cooperative housing societies let me tell you what is RTI act. 

 

Hire expert lawyers and let them handle all difficult situations

  

The RTI Act is an Act which helps citizens to secure, access information under the control of public authorities to promote transparency and accountability so that an organisation works without any discrepancies. 

 

Now that we know what is RTI let us understand does cooperative housing society comes under RTI. 

 

There is great confusion regarding the question if a cooperative society is a part of RTI act or not.

 

Is RTI applicable for cooperative housing societies?

 

The answer would be no! Let me tell you why. 

 

At the beginning of my write-up, I mentioned RTI helps to secure citizens’ information under the RTI Act. But cooperative society is not a public authority therefore it does not fall under the RTI Act.

 

Since the cooperative society is not an institution of self-government established or constituted under the Constitution, by law made by the Parliament, by law made by the State Legislature or by way of a notification issued or made by the appropriate government therefore the cooperative societies cannot be a part of public authority.

 

Although there can be exceptions if:

  1. A body owned, controlled or substantially financed by the government.

  2. Non-governmental organisations funded by the Government.

 

Although the matter is complicated, residential and commercial cooperative societies do not follow. Also, Tamil Nadu condemned cooperative societies to follow RTI act. I hope this answers your question:
