+**In one line.** A body is a 'public authority' under Section 2(h) if it is **substantially financed** by the Government. The test is whether the funding is **substantial in kind and quantum**, as narrowed by //Thalappalam v. State of Kerala// (2013).
+**What that means in practice.**
+  * A one-off grant is not substantial financing.
+  * Free or concessional land, buildings, or assets at below-market rates can count.
+  * The **proportion** (typically 50% or more) and the **nature** of State dependence both matter.
+  * Cooperative societies held outside the Act in //Thalappalam//; private trusts require close examination.
