HDC said it has created a dedicated information section on its website containing a structured directory of disclosures covering its operations, responsibilities, financial information and governance processes.
Housing Development Corporation (HDC) has become the first state owned enterprise to proactively disclose information required under the Right to Information (RTI) Act.
In a statement issued, HDC
said it has published all categories of information required under the RTI Act
on its official website, making it fully accessible to the public.
RTI Act requires public authorities to regularly publish key categories of information, including institutional structure, services, budgets, expenditure, salaries and decision-making processes, at least once a year.
HDC said it has created a dedicated information section on its website containing a structured directory of disclosures covering its operations, responsibilities, financial information and governance processes.
The company said it was proud to be the first state owned enterprise to comply with the proactive disclosure requirements in this manner.
“HDC is always striving to manage its affairs in a transparent manner and provide better services to the public,” the company said.
The Information Commissioner’s Office has previously stated that all state institutions, including ministries and the President’s Office, are required to meet proactive disclosure obligations under the RTI Act, even in the absence of specific public requests.
Earlier this month, Information Commissioner Ahid Rasheed said in a post on X, the President’s Office and 16 ministries had achieved near-complete compliance with proactive disclosure requirements, averaging close to 100 percent publication of mandated information.
