The bodies owned,controlled or substantially financed by the Central Government or a State Government and non Government organisations substantially financed by the Central Government or a State Government also fall within the definition of public authority.
The financing of the body or the NGO by the Government may be direct or indirect.
Hence, all institutions will come under Public Authority.
