"Gratuity - It is extreme greediness & nothing
else. He would get a pension of Rs.62,500 pm. What further
he wants. But you these are the souls in DPE & other
Ministries who thwarted any proposal to pay monthly ex-gratia
(in lieu of pension) on monthly basis to retirees of CPSEs
who retired with gratuity of petty Rs. 1 lakh & PF of
Rs. 5 or 6 lakhs (retired before 1997) with no pension&
who are struggling to get both ends meet. They are 75 years
& above & facing multiple
accumulated adverse conditions since they retired- retired
at 58 years resulting in less accumulation of PF & loosing
the benefit of multiplication of PF amount in next two years,
the cost of living gone up by 250%(since 1997), the return
on investments(which is the only source of income) has come
down by 33%, the increased medical expenditure due to age
related problems etc.

Can an applicant insist on getting a signature verified
under RTI?
Through the RTI application filed with the Department of
Revenue, Government of NCT of Delhi, the applicant requested
the Public Information Officer (PIO) to verify the caste
certificate issued to her husband. The PIO informed the
applicant that the caste certificate mentioned by her in
the application was not recorded in the register available
with them. The First Appellate Authority (FAA) directed
the PIO to allow the inspection of relevant records to the
appellant. The respondent stated that they do not have any
record by which they could verify the authenticity of signature
in the caste certificate the
appellant has mentioned in the RTI application. The appellant
provided a copy of the caste certificate available with
him requesting the PIO to verify whether the signature was
that of the then BDO so that he can intimate the reply to
the concerned authorities in his office who had questioned
the authenticity of his caste certificate. The respondent
submitted that he was a junior officer and was not in a
position to write to the Deputy Commissioner (the then BDO)
and ask him to verify his own signature. The Commission
directed that the PIO to transfer the appellant's RTI application
to the Deputy Commissioner so that he may give factual information
to the appellant after verifying the authenticity of signature
(whether it is his signature or not) on the caste certificate
the appellant has mentioned.
Comments
Ordinarily, the Commission has adopted the practice of
giving a direction to provide the copy of the relevant document
like, the caste certificate in this case, rather than getting
into the nitty-gritty of verifying the signature. This case
is likely to set a trend in future
where someone may be asked to verify the authenticity of
documents.
