DoPT circular clarifying earlier circular on Sec 6(3) and "collection/creation" of information
Based on a CIC observation during an appeal hearing, DoPT has now clarified its earlier circular on Sec 6(3) and "collection/creation" of information:
The undersigned is directed to clarify that the OM dated 12.6.2008 does not propose to say that collection of information per se amounts to creation of information. The above referred statement has been made to emphasize that the public authority to whom the application is made is not required to collect information from different public authorities to supply it to the applicant.
The full circular is attached to this post:
