I have filed RTI to gate the bio-metric attendance for two month but the PIO refused to provide the information and stated as "The bio-metric attendance is the matter between employer and employee and governed by service rules, which falls under personal information and disclosure of which has no relationship to any public interest. Hence, the information is exempted from disclosure under section 8(1)(i) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, there shall be no obligation to give any citizen, cabinet papers including records of deliberations of the Council of Ministers, Secretaries and other officers: Provided that the decisions of Council of Ministers, the reasons thereof, and the material on the basis of which the decisions were taken shall be made public after the decision has been taken, and the matter is complete, or over: Provided further that those matters which come under the exemptions specified in this section shall not be disclosed; of RTI Act".
