Corrupt top PSU bank officials is the root cause of NPA's


NPA's is due to collusion of top bank officials with fraud business houses and they are hindering the to bring the names of NPA, because there names are going to be leaked recently one ED & GM of Hyderabad based PSU bank came to Kolkata have a cocktail party with NPA holders at 5 star hotel, 400 odd crores is the NPA in this zone

Govt. failures


Govt. has not been successful but failed in widening tax net of the people earning more than 50 lakhs. The figure is 1.5 lakhs but estimated to be 50 lakhs. There has been no change in numbers officially for the people in this category. Govt. has not taken much step in this direction. CBDT is only struggling with small tax payers and interest money. CBDT does not have data people having cars more than 20 lakhs, people stayed in five star hotels in last three years, people have undertaken foreign trips in last three years, people bought jewelleries more than 2 lakhs, money flowing in the high end areas like film, cricket, real estate, etc. Apparently from media reports, it looks that RBI Governor is providing shield to banks in NPA cases. Banks are answerable for their failures why talk about Bank Bonds. In Punjab Food Grain case why Govt. should support 12000 crores of money. Banks are trying to convince RBI to do something for banks. Mallya case has been highlighted to its peak but names for other defaulters are being kept confidential. In fact RBI should put complete list of defaulters in public domain ranging from 1 crore and above as it is tax payers money and full transparency should be maintained. Let everyone to be treated equally. Govt. should do something to reduce cash flow in the market and demonetisation of higher denomination currency.

DATE WITH RTI

Salary slip of a government employee

The Appellant sought a copy of the salary certificate of her husband which was denied by the PIO. She alleged that she was mistreated and turned out of the house of her husband, who sent her legal notices for mutual divorce later on. She further submitted that a case concerning the maintenance due to her is pending in a Family Court and she needed the information in the above context. She also prayed for imposition of penalty on the PIO for denying the information and payment of a suitable compensation to her in view of the fact that in the absence of the information sought by her, she has not been able to get an appropriate amount of maintenance from her husband.
The CIC observed that the salary slip would contain not only the information concerning the gross salary being received by an officer, but also the various deductions being made which is his personal information. The CIC directed to provide the information concerning the gross monthly remuneration received by the officer.

Comments

The case provides the fine distinction between public and personal information. Readers may recall that under section 4(1)(b)(x) of the RTI Act, the gross remuneration paid to an employee is to be disclosed proactively by the public authority.
