I doubt as its a third party information held in fiduciary relationship. Still if one can establish reasonable lager public interest involved than only it can be disclosed....

[karira]

What is the information that a account holder has to give to the bank (under KYC) ?

Go item by item on that list and see if any of the exemptions listed under Sec 8(1)(a) to (j) are applicable to any items. If yes, those the PIO will deny. He might term some information as third party and also follow Sec 11 procedure.

Anyhow, what do you lose by applying for the info and see what happens.

in discharge of a statutory requirement, or to obtain a job, or to get a license, cannot be considered to
have been given in a fiduciary relationship.

KYC is becoz of PMLA ( prevention of Money laundering act ) pmla directs all authorities to complete kyc so it is a statutory requirement to be completed

Take this reason and Work Hard on this you will succeed
