Rti regarding non recipt of salary

Dear Querist,

Several CIC orders and court judgments have held that Few phases of the salary of an employee can be revealed under the RTI Act. and also the Commissioner admitted that the salary information of employees in the department is to be revealed. Under Section 19(8)(b) of the RTI Act, the CIC or the SIC, can require the Public Authority to compensate the complainant/appellant for any loss or detriment suffered. The complainant/appellant should be able to justify the claim for compensation as well as the amount of compensation sought.

It is recommended that the complainant/appellant specifically include a “prayer” or “relief sought” in his Complaint or Second Appeal, in case he wants the CIC or the SIC to impose a penalty under Section 20(1) or recommend disciplinary action under Section 20(2).

Similarly, if compensation is sought from the Public Authority, the complainant/appellant should make a specific mention in “prayer” or “relief sought” as well as give justification for seeking compensation and the amount of compensation sought.

Regards,

Palak
