Hello Prema,
yes, it has been often repeated and is also under the clause of
RTI that, the information which is sought for should be available in the form asked by the applicant, and the CPIO is not supposed to generate any information.
Read the recent decision in which it was again retreated.

In a number of decisions, the Commission has ruled that the information seekers should ask for information that are already available with the CPIO. In the instant case, a part of the information has already been supplied, whereas a part of the information could not be furnished either because it does not exist in that form or the compilation of huge information would divert the resources of the public authority under section 7 (9) of the Act.
