The Union government, in its draft of the Digital Data Personal Protection Bill, 2022, has proposed an amendment to the Right to Information (RTI) Act. The proposed amendment seeks to deny any personal information regarding administration officials under the RTI Act's Section 8(1)(j), citing the protection of "individual privacy." The government released the draft of the Bill on Friday and sought public feedback.
