DEAR Shailesh Kr. Shah

IN MY OPENION CPIO CAN ONLY PROVIDE THE INFORMATION ONLY AFTER GETTING THE NO OBJECTION FROM THIRD PARTY HOWEVER The CPIO can deny such information unless its involved larger 'Public Interest'.

yes one can.  Most of the infromation is already part of senioirty list

It is not only the joining date or transfer date, one can even know the dates on which one has taken casual leave or earned leave of an employee.

Yes ,one can obtain these information since its our right.Right to information act gives us the previlege to know about each and every details but central public information officer( CPIO) can deny the appeal or request if its not in larger public interest.

Citizens have the right to know about these information under the RTI act, but the body from which you want the information should be a body of Government, in case the body refuses to give the information or they don't provide the information within the time they have defined, then you can file for information through online and offline application to the RTI office in your area or at rti.gov.in.

Above given are the details of information under RTI,which have been made pro-active;meaning that these information must be made public without the exclusive demand from a  person in particular.

Other than that,you can ask information,that may be given by PIO of the department considering the merit of such query.

Now,the point is to be made here is the emphasis on the word "shrewdness" of the queriest. It depends on the queriest how well he drafts the application seeking the required information which can prove a larger public interest.

why you are afraid of someone knowing you recruitment/ leave details? Have you done some bungling in leave record? Is your appointment irregular

The whole purpose of RTI is that public should have right to know the deeds of Govt officials
