The information from an association run by members of business community does not come within the purview of the Right to Information Act unless a public authority has access to the information relating to the said association as envisaged by the definition of the term "Information" given under 2[f] read with 2[j] of the RTI Act.

My question is that, an association formed and run by its members ( association is registered with Registrar of Societies ), can one seek information under the RTI Act regarding activities and day to day affairs of the such association and can have information on accounts of the association?
