vashisthvivek,

This is totally wrong reasoning by the FAA.
Please write to the AA, with a CC to the PIO and ask him under which Section of the RTI Act is he asking you to limit yourself to asking information for only one year per application ?
For good measure, file another RTI application with the same PIO attaching a copy of your new letter to AA (as suggested above) and asking for information on day to day progress, the names and designation of officers deciding the matter, how long they have taken to decide, etc...
Alternatively, you have the right to go in for Second Appeal.
There are several instances in the case of CIC wherein information for several years have been provided under one application.
In my personal case, I asked the Commercial Taxes Department in AP to give me information for 25 Divisions for 2005-06 and 2006-07 regarding refunds of excess input tax credit given to registered dealers. It was provided by all divisions without any problem.
Seems that PIO and AA are are trying to hide something and intentionally trying to harass you in giving 7 applications.
