No. Such private institutions which do not take any help with any Govt. are exempted to disclose any information relating to their firm because such information may affect their business competitiveness.

yes, u can get information from private insurence firm.
the insurence firm cover under insurence act and governd by I.R.D.A.
The institution of Insurance Ombudsman was also created by Government of India Notification dated 11th November, 1998.
according yr e.g-as Birla Sunlife.
o.k.it is private firm but doing work under IRDA.
it covers under RTI.
file an application regarding yr information with each 10 rs.postal order for every queston.

Hi Mr. Sarvesh K. Sharma,
The central Govt have prescribed Rs. 10/- as application fee and there is no limit and fees for every query has not been paid. Only Rs. fee is being paid. There is no limit and you can ask the desired number of questions with Rs. 10/- only.
The central govt has prescribed Rs 10- as application and Rs 2/- per page created or copied for obtaining inforamtion. However the different state govts have prescribed different fee rules. The application fee varies from Rs 500/- in Arunachal Pradsh to fee fo cost at Village level in Andhra Pradesh. Similarly, some state levy fee for filing appeal, wheress it is fee in most of the states.
For detail kindly go through the following chart.
