Compliance with the Right to Information (RTI) Act causes costs.Defending one’s organisation in a fundamental-rights application before the Court of Appeals causes costs.But the experts who drafted the RTI Law paid no heed to costs of compliance and denied requests for small changes that would have allowed the Right to Information Commission to make rules to reduce burdens of compliance for small organisations.The legislators approved what the experts proposed.
