why do you want to use rti for this?


you being a major beneficiary of the trust,why cant you demand the details from them?

I have already demanded which they refused. In fact they havent given to the other beneficieries too. Court procedure is very lengthy and expensive. There are several tenants and I have no idea what these tenants pay. There are lots of new tenants and lots of PAGDI transaction involved ( Black Money )  If I get Tax Returns then I will be having clear idea about the property Income and Expense Hence I need copies of the tax returns

it would be in your interest not to make any legal/official steps at this stage.

why dont you approach through some elders in the family?do you suspect that your interest are not genuinely protected?

Trusties are taking advantage of me. At present I live abroad and they think I wont come back. There are lot of black money involved while transfering tenancy which they do not want to disclose. If I can able to obtain Income Tax returns I will know exactly whats going on. I will really appreciate help in this matter

it is very difficult to get the IT returns copy easily as it is a third party information,which will be released with their consent.


further,whether you get a copy or not through rti,most of your trust members will know that you are probing the matter.


as you said money is paid in "black",such details would not be available in it return.

 

you may engage the service of \a "private detective agency" to know the details.

As per section 11(1), Without the consent trustees, you could not get information.
