In a major relief for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the Sports Ministry has revised a key provision of the National Sports Governance Bill, narrowing the scope of the Right to Information (RTI) Act to cover only those sports bodies that receive government funding or assistance.

- JAYANTH JACOB @ New Delhi

The bill, introduced by Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya in the Lok Sabha on July 23, initially classified all recognised sports organisations as public authorities under RTI, regardless of their funding source. Clause 15(2) of the original draft would have brought even financially independent bodies like the BCCI under RTI scrutiny.
