DoPT has issued a circular No. 1/14/2008-IR dated 28 July 2008 clarifying that PIO's cannot "designate" other officers as PIO's using Sec 5(4) and 5(5). It is the duty of the PIO to obtain information from other officers and provide to the applicant. The RTI Act enables the PIO to seek assistance of other officers (deemed PIO's) to enable him to provide information to the information seeker BUT does not give him authority to designate these "other" officers as PIO's. Circular copy is attached to this post. |
