| Yes, only Citizen have the right to ask for information . Interpreting this, the Unions/Organizations cannot ask for information under Right to Information .You would like to read the decision of CIC here! http://www.rtiindia.org/forum/118-post1.html

| yes nile, any organisation/society cannot ask for information under RTI , so, In your case, the application which was made to BMC was signed by the secretary on behalf of the society, BMC rejected the said application stating that since a society is not a citizen, the application is not covered under the RTI Act, but the intresting part is that if the same secretary applies again to BMC as an individual, then BMC is bound to reply, so apply as an individual, collect the information , forward the reply to the society and the society can use the information if it is supplied by its member, hope this helps you |

. In short, your secretary is a citizen of the country. A recent CIC Appeal No.139/ICPB/ 2006 F.No.PBA/06/ 188 October 25, 2006, allowed the information in a similar case.Best wishes |
