@Abhishek012 @Aniket bhaiyo ye ladayi court mai already ho chuki hai

File No: CIC/MOFIN/C/2017/131504/BKOBD
Quoting the judgement of the bench (emphasis mine) (attaching the original) (
Link to alternate copyGet Premium Link):
This means that even the highest authority of RTI i.e. Central Information Commission (CIC) acknowledges that it
SHOULD be a public authority but
it is not so explicitly (by lack of legislature) and CCI's judges cannot convert it to one based on this one complaint. (Matters related to legislation are often left to SC).
So
@Abhishek012 is correct that NPCI is not covered under the RTI Act.
atleast for now, which indirectly means NPCI is not a govt. entity, as argued by NPCI itself.
