Audit reports are not mere details on accounts of customers, but mainly to do with the violations if any in the bank's own laid down systems, procedures & guidelines and and also regarding the violation if any, on the policy guidelines of the govt and RBI, in respect of the functioning of a bank/branch. Hence for nationalised banks, these are very much within the realm of
RTI.
CIC decisions are already there on the subject as cited by Karira.
