Absolutely fine, but unless "we the people" start shouldering /contributing our bit in "Good Governance" things cannot change for Good. The Preamble in the RTI Act-2005 is a valid statement - (1) access information to promote transparency and accountability in working of public authority, (2) Democracy require informed citizenry, (3) transparency & accountabiliy to contain corruption, (4) hold Governments and the instrumentalities accountable.

There was no such 'extra' clause in RTI. Any request for any information in the form of certified copies are maximum 30 days from the receipt of such application excluding the days in between demand receipt and receipt of such fees by PIO.

What is the time limit to inform RTI applicant about the extra fee for extra pages.

The mere mention of RTI Act or questioning on such quality triggers irritation among authorities. In India, we believe God , destiny etc., and those who are fortunate can find PIOs with good attitude.

The citizen would not use the RTI Act-255 route to write to the Public Authority for taking actions against the PIO/FAA. He would write a normal letter accusing for deriliction of public duty

It is not possible to sit on a carpet and count the strands. Like in a court, every one tries his luck to get information. Most of the information may help in personal problems and information on those of public interest matters denial is not real concern of the citizen. Those who are powerful, influential may use this as weapon on opponents, nothing else. The commission should think of the noble objective and the benefits to government with that information, rather than enjoying the benefits for their earlier favours to Government. You can count very few commissioners that have since

Since senior officials of public authorities and officials are inclined to beat the provisions of RTI Act as their sins coming out on surface by way of disclosure of information. Further the role of Central Information commission and it's functories doing the role of catalyst by diluting the provisions of section 18 of the Act. 98% decisions pronounced pertaining to diluting the Act and in advisory to PIOs.

There are several conflicting views. 1.The Madras High Court has ruled that irresponsible PIOs should be shown the door. 2.CIC and HC judgment states that a Citizen is entitled to information alone and he is confined only for prayers and other action against PIO are at the discretion of IC. 3.FAA is beyond all, and in one HC Judgment, the HC has withdrawn the strictures passed as there is no such clauses and responsibilities were entrusted in RTI Act. As our Great Guru Mr Karira has stated 5 years back, the Act is on Ventilator with artificial breathing, with some remote s

(1)The PIO's and FAAs are public servants under their respective public authorities and they carry out out the functions of PIO and FAA as part of their assigned duties in addition to their prescribed functions as per their functional designation of the cadre.

Thanks Sir

The point here is, not what you have asked for or demanded, but the point here is, did you file your RTI application to a PIO, in the prescribed format by paying RTI fees?

First of all PIO can not provide that information which is exempted under RTI. Caste is a personal information and this may amount to invasion on privacy. However there is no bar for a citizen in seeking information from public authorities under RTI Act. The applicant must go for such larger public interest involved and establish this to satisfaction of PIO. In other words you can seek such information.....Your query is answered. The query you have not asked is whether PIO can provide such information. The reply is NO, he can not provide such information and applies

My father-in-law (expired since 2010) had at best left a paper trail of investments done, but nothing concrete. In the past 1 year (since I am recently married in the family) I've managed to trace Shares, Bank Accounts & Insurance; but the only thing left is PPF in my Mother-in-law's name. But due to no paper trail here, except a mention to my wife (his daughter) about the same in 2007, I do not know where to check, Post Office / SBI / Some other bank. So since I do not know which Organisation he made the investment in (let alone the branch), can I file a RTI directly with RBI since t
