India is moving transparent. After a no of legislations to prevent horse trading of MPs and MLA, the legal system of India touched the apex by introducing the Right to Information (RTI) act. In this a particular person who needs data regarding information related to the public system can pay an amount and get his request registered. This request should be met in a certain amount of time and if failed the petitioner is to be benefited.

Till now your income tax details were out of this net. Recently there was a petition in this regard and it is finally approved that Income tax details can be made public. The petitioner fough the legal battle after he was denied the Income tax details of a doctor. However many do not feel this a good move as the confidential and private information is being shared with a third party. Hope there will be clarity on the situation very soon.
