The Church, or any other religion, which is not supported by government
grants
cannot come under the purview of the government administration /RTI etc
other than the norms every one as citizens of this country or the state has
to follow., i.e registration of sale deeds, births/deaths/ payment of income
tax/taxes etc.
The internal administration of the Church/other religious institutions is
their own prerogative and the members of the faith are responsible to
oversee the clean functioning in this regard.
Religious institutions which get grants for renovations , building of
crematoriums/cemeteries etc, etc such as MPLAD or others etc should come
under the RTI, unless renovations supported by the government grants are
considered as restoration of monuments and open for all public of all faiths
and which cannot hold any private religious services.
This is the stand point of view as far as we are concerned.
