The Central Information Commission has directed the external affairs ministry to comply with the norms of statutory suo-moto disclosures to be made under the Right to Information Act. 

The move comes following a complaint that some information given on the ministry's website under Section 4 of the RTI Act, which relates to proactive disclosures by a public authority, was not complete and comprehensive. 

Complainant Saurabh Sharma alleged that the ministry did not disclose complete information about the powers and duties of its officers and employees, the prescribed norms for the discharge of its functions, a directory of its officers and employees; the monthly remuneration received by each of its officers and employees and particulars of recipients of concessions, permits or authorizations granted by it. 

Sharma also alleged that the ministry has not made public a statement of the boards, councils, committees and other bodies constituted as its part or for the purpose of its advice, and as to whether their meetings are open to the public, or the minutes of such meetings are accessible for public. 

Information Commissioner Shailesh Gandhi directed to make public all the information mandated under the section 4 of the RTI Act on its website as well as in hard copy form before January 15. He directed the external affairs secretary to send a compliance report.
