What is personal information under RTI. Can your personal information be disclosed under RTI to others?


Personal information of citizens is protected from disclosure, subject to certain conditions, under section 8.1.j

This section provides protection of such personal information from public exposure, the disclosure of which has no relationship to any public activity or interest or which would cause unwarranted invasion of the privacy of the individual, unless a larger public interest justifies the disclosure of such information.

Here question arise of interpretation of section with wisdom & prudence. as per this service record of public servants need to be divulge if read with section 4 of proactive disclosure along with preamble of the act emphasizing informed citizenry in democracy with the objectives transparency & accountability to contain corruption. But supreme court in recent past has delivered different verdict interpreting otherwise. should not that be placed for review or appeal?uch PPRACHARAK IS HEADING A government. IS IT CONSISTENT & CONVINCING?

My son's F>D. was maturing on 23rd &of August. 12 on 23& 24th august banks employees were on strike. F.D. deposited in to his account after two days with interest up to 22nd.

He complained to Bank authority & later on ombudsman & RBI to claim two days refund. Reply of bank was we issued notice of strike. contention of my son was illegal grabbing of two days interest. ultimately after a month bank credited two days interest Rs. 15/ in to account. In this regard RTI is also made to RBI & MINISTRY OF FINANCE TO KNOW ACROSS THE NATION HOW SUCH ILLEGAL INTEREST IS BEING GRABBED BY ALL BANKS FOR THOSE TWO DAYS. LET US SEE.

Another incident is charging of national electronic fun d transfer charge by bank.

Which I challenged before bank & RBI as well as to ombudsman on the ground that it is incumbent on the part of bank to provide customer free cheque book. Under the circumstances if NEFT is used how bank can charge the transaction? on the contrary customer is resorting paperless e. transaction who should be rewarded. for protecting environment as well as money stationary & man power of bank up to the extent.

Ultimately bank refunded the transaction charge.

2 Several welfare trusts and public authorities claim exemption from the RTI Act on the basis of being independent bodies? Are they?

1/Not necessarily. cic post is not absolute judiciary but quasi judicial.


RTi is an act of parliament supreme court can interpret but can't dictate centre or parliament to amend law. constitution

has rightly demarcated / distinguish power,authority& duties of parliament,executive &judiciary thus all should maintain limit with one's introspection. If read keep this verdict along with the swpeech of H/P.M. iNDIA ON  7TH ANNUAL CONVENTION OF CIC refering circumscribin RTI in case of encroachment on privacy.   Actualy if read & kept in mind the provisions under section 8, 9 & 11 of the act sufficient provisions are already there in the act it self to safeguard the interest of person or privacy.  Both the  cases seems to    pervert/ straggle  the transparency & accountability act rather to scuttle or strangulate tha act. 2/ On the contrary looking to corporate corruption public limited companies &charity trusts where ever public fund is involved must cover under RTI. Than only transparent good governance will be there.
