<h1>Section 8 RTI Act: Exemptions on Info Disclosure Include National Security, Trade Secrets, Personal Data; Public Interest May Prevail.</h1> Section 8 of the Right to Information Act, 2005, outlines exemptions from disclosure of information by public authorities. It specifies that information affecting national security, foreign relations, or public safety, among others, is exempt from disclosure. It also includes information forbidden by courts, privileged legislative information, trade secrets, and personal data unrelated to public interest. However, if public interest outweighs the harm, disclosure may be permitted. Information over twenty years old must be disclosed unless exempt under specific clauses. The Central Government's decision on the computation of the twenty-year period is final, subject to appeals.
