Co-op Production Sales Society

[sbpamu 2]

Sir, 

Namaskar.

I need to get all the employees information from "Handlooms Weavers Co-op Production Sales Society" 

such as date of joining, salary, salary credit bank, etc., till date.

So, can i direct my RTI application to Registrar of societies, or other handloom department, as this society does not have any PIO and is extension to the government department.

Request you to provide me suggestions on this matter.

It is related to "Handloom Development Center (Govt. of India)"  and websites related are:

http://handtex.telangana.gov.in        

http://handlooms.nic.in

and concerned authorities linked with these societies are

1) Assistant Director (H&T),  

2) Regional Deputy Director (H&T)

3) Director of Handlooms & Textiles and Apparel Export Parks,

4) Commissioner for Cooperation & Registrar of Cooperative Societies

Hope this information helps....Thanks in advance.

The only yardstick and fundamental information required is as to whether such society cease to exist if Government funding is withdrawn.  If it can not exist without such financial support it is within ambit of RTI Act.

First file RTI Application, then if the SPIO denies that he is not public authority, with the above information as in first para, make a complaint before Telangana Informtion Commission.Commission.

You can get their scale of pay and not total salary payable or bank account which are treated as personal information under Sec. 8 1 (J)

There should be a logical ending for such information and to establish larger public interest if information is denied stating such 8 (1) (j), you have to inform the LPI involved in seeking the details of entire employees in a state working in such co operative dept,

The Department  of Handlooms and Textiles of Govt. of Telangana is a Public Authority by itself and there is a dedicated tab available on its website for giving information under RTI. However, it seems that their website's RTI tab is not working.

Therefore, I would suggest as follows:

1. First try and contact them on the phone number given on their website, politely speak to the person who picks up the phone and request for the details of the Public Information Officer (PIO).

Ph.No: 040-23221684 Fax: 040-23221685

2. Secondly, also at the same time, try by writing to them on their email address and respectfully request for the details of the PIO; in this email also inform them that the RTI tab on their website in not working.

Email Id: tshandtex@gmail.com

3. You can file a RTI application directly addressed to their PIO, without waiting for the results of step 1 and 2 above, as follows (please note that for filing a RTI, name of a person is not required but only designation PIO is required):

To,

The Public Information Officer,

Director of Handlooms and Textiles and Apparel Export parks,

3rd  Floor, Chenetha Bhavan,

 Telangana State, Hyderabad 500001

@  Shri Sunil Ahya : "3. You can file a RTI application directly addressed to their PIO, without waiting for the results of step 1 and 2 above, as follows (please note that for filing a RTI, name of a person is not required but only designation PIO is required):"

 

Always write on the envelope only the HO name and do not write

To,

The Public Information Officer,

 If you write a public information officer, as there is no such designated officer, they may refuse to accept such application, which again should be sorted out through complaint to Telangana IC.

Instead write only the name of dept.,

Director of Handlooms and Textiles and Apparel Export parks,

3rd  Floor, Chenetha Bhavan,

 Telangana State, Hyderabad 500001

and in that envelope your RTI Application can be addressed to Public Information Officer.
