"Passport Conundrum"
While MEA's decision to organise 250 passport Seva kendras across the
country in 2015, is commendable, the malady of cash-for-passport continues.
The passport applicants are made to run from pillar to post between
passport offices and police stations . The touts roam outside RPOs and
Seva Kendras in search of hapless victims, promising to get the job
done on payment of huge " facilitation charges". They have
free access to officials. Will the MEA please take the call ?

Copies of the TA / DA & LTC bills
The appellant sought information regarding TA / DA & LTC bills
claimed by Shri Achal Kumar Gupta, Managing Director of the State
Bank of Patiala which was denied by the Public Information Officer
citing Section 8(1)(d) and (j). The Central Information Commission
(CIC) referred to the judgment of the Hon'ble High Court of Punjab
and Haryana and ors in Civil Writ Petition No. 4930 of 2011 and
ruled that the copies of TA bills etc. would clearly be in the
nature of personal information and not relatable to the discharge
of the duties in official capacity. The CIC directed to provide
the date of travel and the amount reimbursed.
Comments
The quantum of payment made to a public servant is liable be made
public. However, in case of a LTC travel, the place visited and
the details of the family members are exempt from disclosure by
virtue of being personal information.
