There is no such prescription and clauses for seeking information under RTI. The denial can only be made as stated in Sec.8 (1) with justification. First seek such information as you wish, and then if the information is denied, you can go for first appeal stating such grounds. PIO provides the information as it is available in material form as a record. If there is a material record in both languages, that document must be provided if not exempted under Sec. 8 (1)1 like

The present scenario is that PIO should provide the information in the language it exists in material form in his records. If it is in English, it must be provided in English ony. If it is in some other language, they should provide that information in which language that exists. For example if it is in other language, he can not undertake to translate from that language into English. The only option is using "Google translate" to know the meaning after getting the certified copy of such record, as PIO may not be ready to provide the information. Applicant can ask anyt1 like

As per Delhi High court Judgment which is still not challenged "Information of income amounts to invasion on privacy of Individual" and as per the judgment, the husband has to seek such details only through process of court only. Many such second appeals failed before Central Information Commission, and you can read all such decisions/judgments in the INCOME TAX DEPT. portal, RTI Segment.

Most of such benefits are Provident fund, pension, encashment of leave, gratuity, where nomination must be submitted and should have been registered, as the emoluments are self acquired by father, and disclosing such amounts paid to even own family members may amount to invasion on privacy.

True. Let us no fight over implementation of stipulation. Focus on information. Raise the issue during second appeal. After all both PIO & FAA work in same authority. If you want you can make a mention but should not sound it like a complaint.

Max of 9 SIM connections per person is permitted. If those SIMs are issued based on Aadhar identity, then you may be able to get details of all SIMs issued to particular Aadhar holder. Other-wise it will be very difficult to identify such number of connections in a particular name from all service providers across the country. When you submit identity documents to Hotels or any other place, please write on it "submitted to ......

Instances that involve disclosure of sensitive information, it may be rationale for the CPIO to ask for citizenship proof
Priya De posted a topic in RTI in Media,
Instances that involve disclosure of sensitive information, it may be rationale for the CPIO to ask for citizenship proof
Information Commissioner Divya Prakash Sinha held that seeking citizenship proof in case of demand of sensitive information is justified but seeking a signed copy of the application does not seem appropriate as the online portal does not mandate uploading of signatures.
Sinha was hearing the plea of an Odisha-based RTI applicant who had sought from the Army information regarding implementation of rules under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 in all defence establishments.
The Army did not provide any information to the applicant, the CIC noted. Akhand approached the Commission with a complaint that the central public information officer (CPIO) of the Army has demanded a signed copy of his online RTI application as well as identity proof before providing him the records.
“In this regard, it may be noted that as far as CPIO’s request for citizenship proof is concerned, the same is not questioned as Commission in its prior decision(s) has held the view that Armed Forces stand on a slightly different footing as there may be instances that involve disclosure of sensitive information, and for such reasons it may be rationale for the CPIO to ask for citizenship proof,” Sinha noted.

CIC rules positively on stale masked FII data release
murgie posted a topic in Post your RTI Success here,
Some of you -- at least CJ Karira, who helped me years ago in one crucial step, getting SEBI to acknowledge its own circular! -- know of a 15-year quest among desi academics to get SEBI to release its stale masked FII data for academic research. At one point years ago a parliamentary query by Shyam Benegal, then Rajya Sabha MP, sought the release of this data for academic research. He then made a subsequent RTI query asking what had done about his complaint about the terrible answer he got to his parliamentary question. We thought we had succeeded when in response to that SEBI did put in public domain that FII data and promised to update. And to their credit, they did update it from time to time, even if a bit fitfully. But thanks to a question by a curious IIT-Madras undergrad, we realized that what SEBI gave with one hand they took away with another. While the idea was that the FII IDs would be masked to preserve privacy, without telling anyone, SEBI changed the masks each month, drastically reducing the value for academic research (since you can't even tell how many distinct FIIs are there in the data base, and whether anyone traded over time). It also caused mistakes in academic research since no one imagined that SEBI would use changing masks, when no other regulator or exchange on the planet does so.
To get SEBI to finally agree to not hide by changing masks, but to keep a stable mask, has taken many years. But at least per the ruling received yesterday, it has been achieved, with no violence to anyone. I attach the ruling. I can also post the various submissions made at the Second Appeal hearing if there is any interest (need to scrub email-IDs, per the policy of this site).
Addendum_To_CIC_2nd_appeal_28th_February_2020.pdfThis RTI site, in particular Karira-ji, has been very helpful to me in the course of this long episode thru countless RTI queries. And I am grateful for that from the bottom of my heart. I am confident we will see quite a few PhD dissertations using this database within the next few years.
