One private Finance company received notice from Public Information officer in which they have directed to Fiance company to provide details directly to applicant within 30days, which was the applicant was asked,i.e loan details etc.,
It's my opinion RTI Act is not applicable to Private companies/organisations. if recently anything amended I don't know.

As every finance company is controlled by Reserve Bank of India / govt. and comes under the purview of RTI Act.
But information can not be sought from such organization directly and be sought from the authority who has control over them. i.e information about private school can be sought from District education officer, not from such school.
