I filed a RTI to PIO of a  RRB requesting  Certified copy of  RBI guidelines for  Agriculture Gold Loan .

The PIO replied that  " The  Guidelines issued by RBI can be downloaded from their Public Domain "  

RBI website has 1000's of circulars . In Agriculture Gold Loan topic there are 100s of circulars . Some are master Circular , Some are Separate to PSB , RRB, Cooperative Banks etc.. 

To Avoid that confusion only i filed RTI directly to RRB ... Now what should i mention in Grounds in my appeal ?????

[Prasad GLN 1,716]

Grounds for appeal:  It was decided in several CIC decisions that when applicant solicits hard copy , it has to be provided in the form in which it is requested, as many common men are not well versed with such downloading procedure and have such mechanism with them.  Even if information is denied with such reason (unknown in RTI Act as a reason for denial), the minimum courtesy is providing such copy of link instead of directing the applicant to go through hundreds of such directives.

PRAYER:  Please direct CPIO to provide the information as expeditiously as possible free of cost as information was not provided within 30 days, with such reason not stated in Act and when specific clause in RTI Act is that PIO should provide the information in the form in which it is requested.
