INDIAN BANK ASSOCIATION [IBA] UNDER RTI ACT: CIC

Central Information Commission has declared Indian Bank Association [IBA] as a public authority under RTI Act, vide its two orders No. CIC/MP/C/2015/000044 AND CIC/MP/C/2016/000103 both dated 13-11-2017. This is a landmark decision and unless there is stay order from Court, one can seek information from IBA under RTI Act 2005.


I am happy that I was closely associated with the complaint to CIC of Mrs Ita Bose of Lucknow along with other like-minded RTI activists. It was a herculean task of nearly 3 years by our team to collect information from various public sector banks and Ministry of Finance and from other sources, to prove that IBA is a public authority under RTI Act. 

In all probability, these orders will be challenged in High Court and stay order would be prayed.

Collection of information by public authority from private entity

Collection of information by public authority from private entity

Section 2f of RTI Act 2005-Information of private entities [to which RTI Act is not directly applicable] to be provided by public authorities/Regulators which control such private entities. There are two contradictory judgments of Hon’ble Supreme Court. However later in date judgment should be effective.

Some regulators especially RBI is quoting judgment dated      09-11-2011 to deny collection and supply of information held by a private entity. Subsequent judgement dated 07-10-2013 is bypassed as it is pro-information seeker.

I am appending verbatim relevant paragraphs of two judgements and source of these paragraphs. Please make use of judgment dated 07-10-2013 in first or second appeal or as a note in RTI application itself.

CENTRAL INFORMATION COMMISSION
File No. CIC/BS/A/2013/000389+000421+000692/5281
Date of Decision: 06 June 2014
Mr. Akshay Kumar Malhotra v/s Telecom Regulatory Authority of India

EXTRACT from following judgement dated 07-10-2013 in case of CIVIL APPEAL NO. 9017 OF 2013 (Arising out of SLP (C) No.24290 of 2012):

“Hon’ble Supreme Court in its subsequent decision dated 07.10.2013 in the case of Thalappalam Ser. Coop. Bank Ltd. and others versus State of Kerala, relevant extracts whereof are as hereunder:

“52. Registrar of Cooperative Societies functioning under the Cooperative Societies Act is a public authority within the meaning of Section 2(h) of the Act. As a public authority, Registrar of Co-operatives Societies has been conferred with lot of statutory powers under the respective Act under which he is functioning. He is also duty bound to comply with the obligations under the RTI Act and furnish information to a citizen under the RTI Act. Information which he is expected to provide is the information enumerated in Section 2(f) of the RTI Act subject to the limitations
provided under Section 8 of the Act…………………………………………
………………………………………….
Consequently, apart from the information as is available to him, under Section 2(f), he can also gather that information from the Society, to the extent permitted by law. Registrar is also not obliged to disclose those information if those information fall under Section 8(1)(j) of the Act.
…………………………………………………………………………
……………………… But the demand should have statutory backing”

_____________________________________________________________________

EARLIER SC JUDGEMENT EXTRACT:

The Supreme Court in CBSE vs. AdityaBandopadhyay, (2011)
SCC 497, [ decided on 09-08-2011 IN CIVIL APPEAL NO.6454 OF 2011[Arising out of SLP [C] No.7526/2009]]  has held as under:-
63. At this juncture, it is necessary to clear some misconceptions about the RTI Act. The RTI Act provides access to all information that is available and existing. This is clear from a combined reading of Section 3 and the definitions of “information” and “right to information” under clauses (f) and (j) of Section 2 of the Act. If a public authority has any information in the form of data or analysed data, or abstracts, or statistics, an applicant may access such information, subject to the exemptions in Section 8 of the Act. But where the information sought is not a part of the record of a public authority, and where such information is not required to be maintained under any law or the rules or regulations of the public authority, the Act does not cast an obligation upon the public authority, to collect or collate such non-available information and then furnish it to an applicant. A public authority is also not required to furnish information which require drawing of inferences and/or making of assumptions. It is also not required to provide “advice” or “opinion” to an applicant, nor required to obtain and furnish any “opinion” or “advice” to an applicant. The reference to “opinion” or “advice” in the definition of “information” in Section 2(f) of the Act, only refers to such material available in the records of the public authority. Many public authorities have, as a public relation exercise, provide advice, guidance and opinion to the citizens. But that is purely voluntary and should not be confused with any obligation under the RTI Act.”

RTI ACTIVIST IN MUMBAI SHOT DEAD

It is advisable to obtain from his family members RTI applications filed by him which lead to killing and post on social media and email to at least 25 RTI activists all over India from different States, with a request to file similar RTIs to same public authority and on receipt of information, upload on social media and by emails to activists. Thus next time killers of RTI activists will think twice, as information will be made public on social media sooner or later. Let us not expect govt to take initiative to ensure that in case of murder or physical harm to RTI applicants, information should be uploaded on website of public authority and SIC/CIC. Majority politicians and senior bureaucrats are hand in glow with such antisocial elements.

NEW WEBSITE OF CIC

To, Secretary CIC                                       Date: 14-10-2016
Further to my feedback dated 07-10-2016 posted on new website, I bring to your kind notice that in new website, decisions get downloaded when “view pdf” is clicked. Thus all decisions are required to be necessarily downloaded by visitor. In old website, there was option of downloading or not after perusing decision. My additional suggestion would be to continue to provide option to visitor to download or not [only read] after  opening decision. Downloading requires time and cost to visitors.

14-10-2016
-Posted on feed back link of new website of CIC

NEW WEBSITE OF CIC

To, Secretary CIC                                       07-10-2016

Thanks for refurbishing website of CIC.

However new decisions from 03-09-2016 uploaded at http://164.100.161.46/cicapp/cause-list-report-web/view-decision do not contain name of public authority. It contains interalia address of appellant/complainant which is not of much use to common visitor of website for decisions. Old website also mentioned name of public authority in addition to name of appellant /complainant.  I could not locate recent decision [may be between 03-10-2016 to 05-010-2016] of Hon’ble M Shridhar Acharyulu, IC against University Grant Commission, which has appeared in print media, since it involved downloading all decisions between above dates. This is cumbersome for public. I suggest that instead of address please include name of public authority for easy access, which is one of the main purposes of RTI.

RTI - PAYMENT OF Rs.4/- OTHER CHARGES

Date: 30-03-2016                                                                         email

To,
1. Shri Manishkumar, CPIO, DFS, MoF, GoI, New Delhi

2. Shri S. R. Mehar, FAA, DFS, MoF, GoI, New Delhi
sewa.mehar66@nic.in

3. National Informatics Centre, New Delhi

Dear Sirs,

Payment of Other Charges on RTIONLINE Portal –DOFSR/R/2016/50439

Vide attached intimation dated 16-03-2016 I have been advised to deposit Rs.4/- towards other charges payable to CPIO, Dept of Financial Services, MoF. I am yet to receive information in hard copy or online or by email from CPIO presumably for non-payment of Rs.4/-.

I could not make payment of Rs.4/- on RTIONLINE portal since there was no link of “make payment” for additional payment at intimation of above CPIO, though it provides for such a link as per page 16 of guidelines [page attached]. I tried bharatkhajana.gov.in [NTRP] but could not succeed in paying Rs.4/- [page attached]. Post Offices have discontinued IPOs below Rs.10/-. Bank DD may cost Rs.20/- or so as minimum commission for DD of Rs.4/- plus postal charges of Rs.25/- for mailing DD. I cannot visit DFS, MoF at New Delhi for paying Rs.4/- in cash from Junagadh Gujarat. CPIO may not accept IPO of Rs.10/-. E-IPO is issued for minimum of Rs.10. I am enclosing with this email e-IPO for Rs.10/-. Use of paper for paying Rs.4 will affect trees and environment. I hope Digital India initiative is being implemented by MoF also.

I draw kind attention to CIC decision No. CIC/SA/A/2015/000743 dated 27-04-2015 [copy attached]. I have witnessed that many citizen centric and pro-RTI public authorities do not insist for petty other charges [even up to Rs.50/-] for supplying information within mandated time-limit.


I humbly request CPIO, FAA and NIC to activate make payment link on RTIONLINE portal so that I can make payment of exact Rs.4/- by debit card or alternatively accept  e-IPO [attached to email] for Rs.10/-. I will not be claiming excess of Rs.6/-. I will be again attempting payment of Rs.4/- on bharatkhajana portal by debit card, though it is complicated especially to non-tech savvy senior citizen like me.

Please inform me when link is activated so that I can make payment of exact Rs.4/-. The information is in larger public interest since there could be VYAPAM or Haryana [teacher recruitment scam] type scams in banking recruitments at IBPS [presently outside RTI Act]. I can proceed further only on receipt of requested information which is held up presumably for non-payment of Rs.4/-.

In case CPIO and FAA, DFS respect opinion of CIC in aforesaid decision, they may choose to forward me information without payment of Rs.4/- by taking holistic view in the interest of Govt and citizens.
