Quick Reply: Every public authority must publish the manner of execution of subsidy programmes, including amounts allocated and details of beneficiaries. That is §4(1)(b)(xii) of the RTI Act. A PMAY-G district list is that class of record.

The publication duty does not need a High Court caption. It is the text of §4(1)(b)(xii).
Section 4(1)(b) requires every public authority to publish, and then update every year, a listed set of particulars. Clause (xii) is “the manner of execution of subsidy programmes, including the amounts allocated and the details of beneficiaries of such programmes”. Section 4(2) requires the authority to put as much of this out suo motu, including on the internet, so that people need not file an application for it.
A district-wise PMAY-G beneficiary list is a subsidy-programme beneficiary detail. Refusal of the whole list as §8(1)(j) third-party personal information has to be justified against that clause, and against §10 severance. The statute's starting point is publication, not concealment. If the list is not on the authority's website, file an RTI for the published §4(1)(b)(xii) material and for the date it was last updated. Then first-appeal the gap.
Editorial summary, not a certified report. This page states statute and, where named, a real decision that was fetched. It is not a substitute for the full text. RTI Wiki is not a legal service.
