PMO denies RTI plea seeking info on PM-CARES

The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) has denied a Right to Information (RTI) request related to the PM-CARES Fund.

RTI request has been denied on the grounds that providing it would “disproportionately divert the resources of the office”.

29

Section 7(9) of the Act says, “An information shall ordinarily be provided in the form in which it is sought unless it would disproportionately divert the resources of the public authority or would be detrimental to the safety or preservation of the record in question.”

30

Section 8 (1) of the Act lists the various valid reasons for exemptions under the Act, which would allow denial of information.

A High Court judgment and multiple orders of the Central Information Commission (CIC) have previously held that, under the RTI Act, this rationale can only be used to change the format of information provided, not deny it altogether.
