Are all religious institutions under RTI?

Babji Yana's answer at Quora on 18th May 2019

Temples & Religious institutions are not private ventures. Every religious institution is a public property unless proved otherwise. Burden of proof lies on the person claiming it to be private. “They are public institutions. The Endowment Deputy Commissioner has the jurisdiction and power to decide whether a temple is public or private in nature”, said the Supreme Court in 2001.

Government can have control in their governance when once the Temples & Religious institutions collect, spend and handle public money. Thus, all temples & religious institutions fall under the purview of RTI 2005.
