Statement 2: Section 2(h)(d)(i) includes any body owned, controlled or substantially financed, directly or indirectly, by funds provided by the appropriate Government within the definition of ‘public authority’. Therefore, the RTI Act *is* applicable to such bodies. Statement 2, which says the Act is *not* applicable, is incorrect.
