The Central Information Commission has directed the Raja Sabha Secretariat to disclose the details of private and pecuniary interests declared by MPs, including their commercial and business interests and remunerative positions held by them.
Acting on an appeal filed by Anil Bairwal of the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR), Chief Information Commissioner Satyendra Mishra asked the House to release the “register of members' [commercial and business] interest” containing details of their business and commercial interests such as “remunerative directorship, regular remunerative activity, shareholding of controlling nature, paid consultancy and professional engagement.”
