Do government memos come under RTI?

Babji Yana's answer at Quora on 13th June 2019


Yes. Memos, Orders, Proceedings, Circulars, Letters of correspondence, Plans, Estimates, Notings etc.
The information to which an elected representative has access, shall be given to a common man.
Any information that can be given to a legislative assembly or parliament come under the purview of RTI.
The proviso to Section 8 of RTI Act reads that “the information which cannot be denied to the Parliament or a State Legislature shall not be denied to any person.”
