Background:
A] I received provisional pass Certificate on 18th June 2012 and applied for DNB Degree Certificate as per advice mentioned in e-mail from NBE dated Jun 28, 2012 at 9:40 AM and as advised by Mr. Chetan, NBE official at Facilitation Centre, National Board of Examinations, Medical Enclave, Ansari Nagar, New Delhi on 2nd July 2012 by an application along with Challan of Rs. 3500 and was told that I will receive the Degree Certificate by post within two to three weeks.
Because I was assured that I will get Degree Certificate within three weeks I signed a contract for job abroad with salary SR 18000 (≈ Rs 2.5 lac), handed them over my other original Certificates and passport and assured them that I will give DNB Degree Certificate.
I tried to enquire about the status after two weeks but there was no reply. When I personally went to the same office and enquired I was told that I will receive Degree Certificate only at convocation. They had no answer when I asked why they misguided me.
Now I’m in severe mental agony, having heavy financial loss and my career is at stake.

Cut out all that background.

Your queries 1 to 4 need to be reframed. Under RTI, you can only ask for "information".
Read Sec 2(f), 2(i) and 2(j) of the RTI Act : Right to Information Act 2005
