However, the said right is not an absolute right. Right to information is a part of Right to Freedom of Speech and Expression. Section 8(1)(j) of the Act balances right to privacy and right to information. It recognizes that both rights are important and require protection and in case of conflict between the two rights, the test of over-riding public interest is applied to decide whether information should be withheld or disclosed.

The IRDA had conducted an audit of the Third Party Motor Insurance Pool and has established that the pool reserves have to be significantly augmented in order to meet the higher compensation to be paid to the unfortunate victims of road accidents. Such augmenting of reserves will strengthen the insurance companies and will enable them to meet all claim obligations at all times expeditiously and without fail, The IRDA has required all general insurance companies to increase these reserves in a phased manner over a period of three years and till the reserves are augmented to a satisfactory level, companies have also been required to restrict theft expenditure in terms of bonuses. incentives etc., besides bringing in additional capital as might be necessitated.
