Information on whether foreign exchange realised against an invoice to be disclosed

[karira]

CIC has ruled that information whether foreign exchange was realised against a particular invoice is to be disclosed under RTI:


The Appellant states that he has seeking information about whether foreign currency has been
received against a particular invoice. The PIO has claimed exemption from giving the information
claiming fiduciary relationship. The Commission accepts that information relating to the transactions of a
customer are held by the Bank in fiduciary capacity and hence are exempt under Section 8(1)(e) of the
RTI Act.


However, in the instant case the appellant points out that in the instant case he is not seeking information
relating to the transactions of the customer but wants the specific information only whether foreign
exchange was realized against a particular invoice numbers mentioned by him.
