I narrate before you a very interesting situation with regard to my RTI application. I sought some information under RTI from a PIO but he did not reply even after the expiry of 45 days. I sent him a reminder. Then he sent his reply stating that the postman did not find my address and reported that no one lived at the address written by me. I again sent him a letter stating that if no one lived at the address written by me, then why did he intimate this information at the same address? This is how...

The awareness about RTI is increasing day by day among the general masses but still very limited number of people are using it. Most of the people are afraid of using it because they apprehend victimisation.One of my friends is an officer in the regional office of a nationalised bank of India where he is forced to work from 10.00am to 09.00 pm. He brings files to his home on Sundays and holidays. And he is not paid any extra allowances for extra work. I suggested him to use RTI regarding the timing...

Dear Members,

I started using RTI in Various departments only to know some facts as well as to see how much importance PIOs pay to this law. But the results are shocking in the sense that most of the PIOs either fail to respond the RTI applications until appeals are made or prove misleading information when the deadline to reply comes close. In such a situation it is difficult for a common man to obtain information easily. Secondly, if a person uses RTI against his or her own department...

So much lying unclaimed in post offices, banks and LIC. If Govt is accoutable to citizen of country there must be pursue from institution to search the right person to return money.

Man, Money and machine is main element of every business and now a days the cost of man is increasing day by day and the opportunity of income is decreasing day by day. In this situation if such a high rate of interest is being paid to money holders it will definately create crisis in market. May be so many other bank will bankrupt in coming days. In my opinion the interest cost must be maximum 6%. In case we are maintaining 6% we may able to face the cost of idle funds. I am sorry to say here that...
